Juhudi is an organization, dedicated to working with children, families, and communities in Kenya to reach their full potential by addressing root causes of poverty and offering suitable interventions.
People who continue to live in extreme poverty face deep, entrenched deprivation often exacerbated by violent conflicts and vulnerability to disasters. Strong social protection systems and government spending on key services often help those left behind get back on their feet and escape poverty, but these services need to be brought to scale.
The share of the world population living in extreme poverty declined to 10 per cent in 2015, down from 16 per cent in 2010 and 36 per cent in 1990. However, the pace of poverty reduction is decelerating, with a “nowcast” of 8.6 per cent in 2018. Moreover, baseline projections suggest that 6 per cent of the world population will still be living in extreme poverty in 2030, missing the target of ending poverty.

Imagine a world where the above problems no longer apply. Where all youth could choose their own path. Where young women had access to modern contraception and could plan the timing & spacing of their pregnancies. Where diseases of poverty were extinct… In Kenya, we are working hard to realize this vision of a healthy and sustainable world where all young people can achieve their full potential – and where every pregnancy is wanted. By championing young people’s access to youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health and rights, we are ensuring a brighter future for the generation of today – and tomorrow!
