Across rural Siaya County, Daraja Community Organization is helping children stay in school, empowering youth and women with practical skills, promoting environmental conservation, and supporting healthier communities. Each project creates powerful stories of hope, resilience, and transformation. However, many of these moments are not captured well because we rely on personal mobile phones for documentation. A dedicated camera will enable us to produce high-quality photos and videos that showcase the impact of our work, strengthen donor reporting, inspire supporters, and amplify the voices of the communities we serve.

Centre for Disability and Elderly Affairs (CDEA) is working to improve access to quality education for marginalised and out-of-school children in remote and underserved communities. Our projects focus on community mobilisation, teacher support and learning activities, but we currently lack a dedicated camera to document our progress. A camera will allow us to capture important moments such as classroom sessions, teacher training workshops, community meetings and engagement activities, as well as student participation and success stories. These visual records are essential for reporting progress, communicating with donors, advocating for education, and strengthening our monitoring and evaluation. We are requesting a camera to support our education projects, which will directly benefit 100 students with disabilities. With your support, CDEA will be able to better showcase positive change, improve transparency and accountability, and reach more marginalised children. Together, we can capture the impact of this work and help create a brighter future for these students.

In this remote community, there is no access to radio, television or reliable internet. Information that many of us take for granted simply does not reach people here. A portable Bluetooth speaker allows community workers to play pre-loaded audio messages during group gatherings, ensuring important information can be shared with everyone at once. The speaker is used to deliver health messages, safety updates, education content and community announcements. It is a simple but powerful tool that helps connect people, support learning and make sure no one is left out because of where they live.

We are working with young people in rural communities in Mbita, Kenya who are eager to learn photography and videography as tools for storytelling, advocacy, and livelihood creation. Many of these youths have passion and creativity but lack access to basic equipment. To train 20 youths, we require two cameras that will be shared during hands-on practical sessions. These cameras will enable the youths to learn visual documentation, capture community stories, and build skills that can lead to income generation and
