Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)
We work to improve access to clean water, proper sanitation, and hygiene education. Our WASH interventions promote health, dignity, and disease prevention across communities in Siaya County.
Promoting Sustainable Livelihoods
We build household resilience by supporting smallholder farmers with training, inputs, and business models—like improved indigenous chicken farming—to enhance food security and income.
Health and Community Well-being
North Gem implements health programs focusing on disease prevention, treatment access, and community health awareness. Past projects have tackled HIV, jigger infestation, and general wellness.
Advocacy & Community Empowerment
We engage in lobby and advocacy efforts that amplify community voices, influence policy, and strengthen grassroots structures for long-term, inclusive and sustainable development.
Climate Change and Environmental Protection
Our climate-focused projects promote climate-smart agriculture, tree planting, water conservation and community sensitization to build resilience against environmental challenges.
Child Development and Protection
Through the Future for Children program, we support children and their families by developing life skills, strengthening community protection systems, and empowering parents economically.

Our Role In the Community
we serve as a bridge between opportunity and need—identifying local challenges and transforming them into pathways for sustainable change. We don’t just provide services; we build capacity, strengthen community systems, and nurture self-reliance. Our work ensures clean and safe water for thousands through the construction of shallow wells, protection of springs, and installation of water tanks in homes and schools. We promote hygiene and sanitation through behavior change campaigns, improved toilet facilities, and targeted sanitation marketing. Through the Future for Children initiative, we advance child well-being by offering life skills training, parenting programs, and educational support. We also drive livelihood improvement by empowering farmers with training, inputs, and access to markets—especially in poultry production. In the health sector, we support public well-being through HIV/AIDS awareness, maternal and newborn care, and vaccination campaigns. Additionally, we facilitate inclusive community dialogue through mentorship, advocacy, and the strengthening of local structures. With every intervention, North Gem empowers community.
