Implemented under the Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) Programme, the project equipped the community with a constructed fish pond and over 2,000 fingerlings, enabling residents to adopt climate-smart aquaculture practices that strengthen both household incomes and community resilience.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Sikika SACCO member Jacinta captured the community’s sentiment: “Tumefurahi sana kwa haya mazao. Tumeona mambo mazuri ya Governor wetu na FLLoCA”<\/em> (“We are very happy with this harvest. We have seen good things from our Governor and FLLoCA”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

County officials reaffirmed their commitment to scaling up similar initiatives across Uasin Gishu, ensuring that the Nguzo Kumi vision continues to translate into tangible food security, job creation, and grassroots prosperity through locally-led climate adaptation solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
