Über uns

PAPO (People Against Poverty) is a community non-profit organization, based in Shianda Mumias,Kenya.
The organization was established in 2014,but later legally registred under the laws and regulations of the Republic of Kenya by passionate members of the Mumias East sub county community in Kakamega county Kenya, who believed that through education, awareness and with collaborative effort poverty can be eliminated and be a thing of the past.
Since then PAPO has launched a number of projects, focusing on computer training, sustainable food production, health advocacy by doing ANTI JIGGER campaigns and environmental conservation through planting of environmental friendly trees to both help conserve environment and increase world forest cover.

Our mission
We believe that through education, awereness and the power of community poverty can be reduced - and we are working every day, to bring this dream to reality!

Projects:
• Digital Empowerment: In this ever-changing digital world being familiar with computers is becoming an essential skill for all kinds of areas in life. We here at PAPO believe that educating young people to become comfortable using basic software can help them tremendously in their future education and even in their search for jobs or professional career. We offer free courses ranging from basic computer knowledge ,internet skills especially on how to acquire resourceful information from the internet and usage to learning the most essential software like the Microsoft Office programs.
• Anti-Jigger Campaign: Jigger infestation is a painful disease that concerns a big part of Kakamega county. PAPO is dedicated to fight this disease by building awareness and empowering the community on jigger prevention, treating and reheabilitating individuals and fumigating infested households or classrooms, and collaborating with both the target schools and the ministry of education to form school health clubs, in the health clubs under the teacher in charge of health students are encouraged on the importance of keeping clean and focusing on personal hygiene as a means of keeping away Jiggers and any related health risks.
• A Greener World: At PAPO we believe that a clean and safe environment can help us reduce Poverty in the World. We encourage young pupils to start learning and practicing Environmental conservation at an early stage. We also empower people to plant as many trees as possible to increase the forest cover of the World by leading with good example and planting trees ourselves at any given opportunity. We also set out vegetable nurseries, and when the seedlings are ready for transplant we supply to community members for free.
