INTRODUCTIONKanini Kaseo Community Based Organisation (CBO) is in Kathonzweni District MakueniCounty with its offices in Kyunyu village. The CBO was started by Kanini Kaseo WomenGroup in 2010 as a single registered Self Help Group. The group then, decided to partnerwith other groups from the Division to form an umbrella body, The CBO, in 2012. Presentlythe Kanini Kaseo CBO has 130 self help groups which are women groups, men groups, andyouth groups all with a common goal of community empowerment through different socialand economic initiatives.The CBO’s main objective is to alleviate poverty in the area which is vulnerable to droughtand famine and lies within the arid and semi arid region of the Kenya.VISION OF THE CBOOur vision is to free all beneficiaries from hunger and thirst, empower them economicallyand in any other way that confer dignity on human life.MISSIONOur mission is to carry out self sustaining activities viable in our area so as to empower thecommunity in meetings in meeting their daily needs as well as the future generations.SLOGANForward ever, backwards never.ORIGIN OF THE PROJECTThe project was as a result of action planning by the members after observing that majority ofthe residents in the district live below poverty line as they depend on agriculture which inmost cases fails due to lack of adequate rains. We therefore thought of ways we could comeout of this and each individual group was asked to write a project proposal showing how theiridentified project would assist them and the community at large while being sustainable.This is therefore a combination of the forwarded 130 proposals from the different groupsforming our CBO, all with a similar goal.OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECTThe main objective of the organisations proposal is economic empowerment of the peopleof Kathonzweni District through implementation of an array of projects which include but notlimited to food security projects. 3. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVESEconomic empowerment towards poverty alleviation will be achieved through the followingspecific objectives: 1. To implement successfully food security projects as a way of alleviating hunger andthirst in Kathonzweni District. 2. To create access to clean and sufficient drinking water to the people of KathonzweniDistrict. 3. To avail access to health care services to the beneficiaries at an attempt to curbdiseases in the area especially those related to malnutrition and water born diseases. 4. To lead in bringing about positive climatic change in the area by the way of plantingtrees and establishing seed nurseries. 5. To establish a micro finance unit in the area (village) by way of establishing a villagebank.AREA DETAILSThe CBO is located in Kathonzweni District of Makueni County. Makueni County has beencategorized in the Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASAL) of Kenya. Water scarcity, foodinsecurity and resultant poverty are rampant among the estimated 900,000 residents. Povertyis endemic in the area and is a resultant as well as a result of many social issues in the targetarea.Most of the populace are peasant farmers, relying on rainfall for crop production. Therainfall is not regular and episodes of crop failure are not rare. Infrastructural development inthe area is fairly good since the Mombasa road (through Makindu and Wote) more or lessruns through, dividing the target area into two on each side of the road. The topography of thearea is fairly plain.In terms of water sources, a lot of water problems are experienced in the area since thepopulace depends on seasonal rivers as the main source of water. Normally, people have towalk for more than 5 kilometers to access water point and what follows is the queuing for thewater for more than two hours. Water is ferried home by way of donkeys or by back andmainly those who are faced by the problem directly are women and children.The target area lacks sufficient health facilities which deny the populace the right to access toadequate health care. People have to walk for long to health centers and what follows is thequeuing for long before being served. Hence there is the need to address this and this hasbeen captured by many groups.HIV/AIDs menace which has been declared a national disaster in Kenya has also crept intothe target area of Kathonzweni District. Each day people are succumbing to Aids relateddiseases and the result has been a rising number of orphaned and vulnerable children in thearea. These children at times have to go through undignified way of life especially if theylack caregivers. This is because in such a case they start acting as child family heads, tending 4. for their younger siblings and even failing to go to school so as to go and fetch water orundertake casual labour so as to buy food. Widowed women in the area have to go throughpain as they have to act as the heads of family in the Kenyan hard economic times.The target area has been affected by negative climate change. Due to lack of awareness a lotof deforestation was undertaken by the locals which has exposed the area to the dangers ofglobal warming. It is a sad fact to point out that the most part of the land is bare with nocover. This has even affected the rainfall patterns in the area. Whenever little rain falls, soilerosion occurs and land productivity is no longer possible owing to the erosion.PROJECT JUSTIFICATIONIt is the right of every human being to lead a dignified life in every way possible. This is theguiding principle of our project proposal. The problems experienced in the target area arecontradictory to this principle. For example hunger, poverty, lack of clean and sufficientdrinking water, disease to mention but a few have made us as the residents of KathonzweniDistrict not to live in dignity. Our children fall sick and yet we lack hospitals, we witness theagony of orphaned and vulnerable children and yet due to poverty there is nothing much wecan do so as to come to their aid. Every day we watch our crops failing due to lack ofsufficient rainfall and our only hope is relief food from the government which is not alwaysforthcoming. The situation has even derived the affected community of esteem since wecannot rely on ourselves to correct the situation.However, through a community action plan, we formed the umbrella body Kanini KaseoCommunity Based Organization through which we have the will to transform the negativesituation in our area to a positive.Member groups have come up with competent funding proposals which have sustainabilityplans so that in the event that financial support of the donor has been withdrawn, the projectactivities will still go on. Training and capacity building has been given an upper hand in thegroups’ funding proposals.The project proposal is worth funding because the local capacity is there and we are bankingon the willingness of the people to undertake the various projects proposed.The project is fully in line with the Millennium Development Goals which form a blue printby all world’s countries and development institutions and clearly states that by the year 2015the 8 goals be achieved. Goal 6 aims at combating HIV/AIDs, malaria and other diseases, andthis will be difficult in a society where resources are very scarce as in the case ofKathonzweni District.By implementing successfully the set of objectives stated by the various member-groups, wewill be able to achieve the first goal of eradicating poverty. This is in line with the KenyaVision 2030’s Social Pillar. 5. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND DESIGNThe CBO is composed of an array of groups who have each their officials. The activities ofthis project will be carried out by the different groups with monitoring being closely done bythe CBOs management team.In the individual proposals, each activity is described as how they will be undertaken andwhile compiling this report, the CBOs management team scrutinised to ensure that theywould be sustainable.BENEFICIARIESThe beneficiaries of the project are the residents of Kathonzweni District. Each membergroup has outlined clearly their direct beneficiaries through the various project proposals.OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIESThe proponent is a Community Based Organization that has been newly formed. It is the onlyof its kind in the area since it is composed of various groups undertaking an array of projects.The idea is to finally bring a complete overhaul of the area by addressing various socio-economic issues affecting the people of Kathonzweni District.PROJECT SUSTABILITYSustainability of the project shall be achieved through the following:Capacity building and empowerment.The 130 member groups will be mobilized through seminars, meetings on empowermentconcerning the project.Members’ full participation in the projectThere is expected maximum participation in the project by the member groups. Further, eachmember group shall ensure the full participation of its members. This will enable them toappreciate the fact that the project has not been forced from outside hence belongs to themCost effectivenessFor the project to be sustainable enough, it requires the project is implemented according tothe time schedule and resource schedule as stated in the project proposals. Also there shall befull accountability of the project monies, transparency and audits to establish this as the needmay arise.Sourcing for more funds/partnering with stakeholdersSince the donor is expected to withdraw after some time, more funds will be sourced fromother donors. HOWEVER, at this point in time we wish to state clearly that we are notbanking on dependency syndrome. It is expected that by the time of full and successful 6. implementation of this project, most of our dreams will have been achieved. However wewant to be the type of CBO that partners with various stakeholders in different developmentactivities. Therefore if need be we will write proposals to relevant donor where it is evidentthat we can’t bear the cost on our own. Thus the project management team is supposed to betrained on proposal writing skills that is, resource mobilization.MONITORING AND EVALUATIONMonitoring and evaluation shall be undertaken throughout the project cycle. The projectmanagement committee shall be responsible for monitoring while an external expert shall beresponsible for the evaluation of the project during two stages of the project.Reasons for monitoring and evaluationTo ensure that every activity is done as per the activity scheduleTo ensure that the allocated funds are utilized as per the budget drawn. Thisminimizes the embezzlement of project fund and for transparency and accountability.To adhere to the objectives of the project.To find out if the project has adhered to the needs of the stakeholders and makeadjustments where possible or necessary.Monitoring and Evaluation Questions to the beneficiaries From your own opinion what has been the main cause of food insecurity in your area? Which is the mainly affected group(e.g. women,children,men etc) Do you think this project has helped in alleviating food insecurity/poverty in the area? As the beneficiaries of the project were you fully involved in the project as your own? How has been the relationship between you and the project management team? Were the resources well utilized in achieving the main goal they were meant for? If not, why? What strategies will you embrace as a community to ensure the sustainability of the project?To be answered by the project management team Why did you come up with this project? How far have you gone with the alleviation of food insecurity/poverty in your target area? What was the response of the stakeholders to the project? What challenges have you faced throughout the entire project cycle? What are your future plans for other projects that you will be carrying out as a group 7.

APPENDICESAPPENDIX I:BUDGET OF THE PROJECTThe budget of Kanini Kaseo Community Based Organization has been derived from thegroup budget of the various project proposals. The groups have factored in how the funds willbe utilised in accordance with the resource schedules. The budget is just an estimate but wehave rationalised the costs as much as possible so as to reach a workable figure.KANINI KASEO C.B.O KYUNYU NUMBER OF AMOUNT INNO.ACTIVITY GROUPS NAME MEMBERS KSHS.1Goat keepingTaa wa Kyunyu 26 1,458,675.002Goat keepingNgenda Undu 40 562,500.003Poultry Rearing Umiisyo wa Aka Ndiwa Manza16 688,000.004Goat keepingKwakya Tene 23 3,000,000.005Poultry Rearing Ngwate Ngukwate Kwanyaa 15 218,100.006Dairy Farming Wikwatyo wa Miwani-800,000.007Goat keepingWendo wi Kyeni23 830,000.008Bee keeping Mbukilye Nukile 21 1,325,000.009Goat keepingKiitui kya Kyunyu 16 900,000.00 10Goat keepingNgiluni 36 1,327,200.00 11Poultry Rearing Winganga33 925,700.00 12Goat keepingKiangini Adult29 700,000.00 13Goat keepingWendo wa Atumia 22 900,000.00 14Poultry Rearing Baraka Kiangini 20 1,000,000.00 15Oxen KeepingNdumina Aume Matheani 23 815,000.00 16Goat keepingNyota Mpya kwa Kavisi 2460,000.00 17Goat keepingMwangaza Manza SHG19 885,700.00 18Goat keepingUshirika wa Walemavu Kitise 32 631,600.00 19Goat keepingNdwiike Ngutwiike 14 250,000.00 20Goat keepingKitui kya Atumia Kisasayani 40 500,130.00 21Goat keepingThome wa Kitise 2178,000.00 22Goat keepingWendo wa Matulaani Kitise 35 359,000.00 23Oxen KeepingWendo wa Kisayani 26 856,000.00 24Goat keepingOsa kana wosye Munaathi "B" 15 600,000.00 25Goat keepingNgasisye Nguasyisye 22 347,720.00 26Goat keepingMbata SHG 32 700,000.00 27Goat keepingWumiisyo Wa Misyi Kitise19 581,400.00 28Goat keepingKamina Ngui Kiangini35 661,500.00 29Goat keepingWendano wa Mbusyani 45 636,000.00 30Goat keepingMuamba wa Ngunguuni 23 498,000.00 9. 31 Goat keepingKwa Luma SHG 31 498,000.0032 Goat keepingNgone Mwaitu Tunathi 18 720,000.0033 Goat keepingKiteei Adult Centre35 1,000,000.0034 Goat keepingKanini Kaseo Kiangini18 360,000.0035 Dairy Farming Kamina Ngui Jourmor-871,200.0036 Goat keepingAnza Manza disabled20 607,600.0037 Goat keepingMundu wa Andu3185,000.0038 Oxen KeepingNgunguuni Women Group22 688,180.0039 Goat keepingKituluni disabled29 844,000.0040 Goat keepingKyunyu Youth group -675,000.0041 Goat keepingSyethe Adult Centre60 300,000.0042 Poultry Rearing Wumiisyo wa Aka Nduva Kitise 26 468,000.0043 Goat keepingNdethye Ngutethye Kiangini -520,000.0044 Goat keepingNgwata Mwana Kitise19 290,000.0045 Goat keepingKamina Ngui Kitise 10 250,000.0046 Poultry Rearing Morning Star Kwanyaa 18 480,840.0047 Goat keepingItambya ya mbee Manzani29 900,000.0048 Oxen KeepingBlue Star Manyuu 25 937,500.0049 Oxen KeepingKwa-Kavisi young Women 18 800,000.0050 Oxen KeepingNgone Mwaitu Mbata 34 605,850.0051 Goat keepingTei wa Kitise Windows-300,000.0052 Oxen KeepingMikauni Women Group27 800,000.0053 Oxen KeepingKatangini Syana Ndiwa16 521,775.0054 Oxen KeepingKuweta na Kwika14 354,900.0055 Oxen KeepingWumianisyo Kwa Nyaa20 500,000.0056 Dairy Farming Wendo Museo SHG19 500,000.0057 Oxen KeepingNdethye Ngutethye Ngunguuni21 725,100.0058 Goat keepingWoni Wa Wo Kiangini 26 497,000.0059 Goat keepingKanini Kaseo Kyunyu35 1,310,000.0060 Goat keepingMbulutini Women Group30 267,000.0061 Oxen KeepingWasya wa Athi Matheani 12 780,000.0062 Goat keepingNgwatanyo ya Katangini 25 300,000.0063 Goat keepingLilii Women Group23 737,150.0064 Poultry Rearing Baraka Youth Group Kitise20 680,750.0065 Oxen KeepingKwa Nyaa Erosion Cover 20 700,000.0066 Oxen KeepingKauvonge Ka Aka Kitise 28 900,000.0067 Oxen KeepingWendo Youth Group41 600,000.0068 Goat keepingKithito SHG17 510,000.0069 Poultry Rearing Kaungile Women Group Kitise25 600,000.0070 Poultry Rearing A.I.C Kiangini Imani 21 141,750.0071 Poultry Rearing Kumya Ukya Ikaasuni Mbuvo24 396,000.0072 Poultry Rearing Wasya wa wo Kwa Nyaa11 593,800.00 10. 73 Oxen KeepingKithito Kya Aka Ndiwa 36500,000.00 74 Goat keepingNinye Mweene Kindu 1152,500,000.00 75 Dairy Farming Ngusye Kitise 16640,000.00 76 Oxen KeepingWazazi Wa Walemavu Athiani15600,000.00Wendo Wa Muika Ngomano 77 Poultry Rearing W.G 22201,000.00 78 Goat keepingWikwatyo wa Atumia Kituluni 15420,000.00 79 Poultry Rearing St. Juliana - 212,700.00 80 Poultry Rearing Kasau Maau Eli24752,000.00 81 Oxen KeepingWoni Museo Kitise SHG25 750,000.00 TOTAL:- 54,287,320.00NUMBER OF AMOUNT INNO.
