Each week, we will be spotlighting a local organisation that Rural Inclusion supports in our social programme.

Sustainable Community Opportunities for Restoration and Empowerment (SCORE) is a child-focused non-governmental organisation founded in January 2004 by a team of community development workers to address the needs and suffering of vulnerable communities. SCORE is dedicated to increasing access to Health, Education, Agriculture, and Livelihoods (HEAL) through synergistic, empowering, innovative, participatory and rights’-based initiatives.

Since June 2023, SCORE has been implementing the Sustainable Household Agricultural Productivity and Empowerment (SHAPE) Project, a strategic initiative aimed at improving household income, food security, and resilience for vulnerable households in rural communities of Siaya County, Kenya.

Through this project, SCORE has established six demonstration farms as learning sites for caregivers to enhance their farming knowledge and skills. The initiative has supported over 545 households to achieve food security, provided financial literacy training, and boosted loan kitties worth Kes 1,250,000 across 25 Savings and Internal Lending Community (SILC) groups, benefiting 626 members and enabling them to start income-generating activities. Additionally, 356 kitchen gardens have been established, improving nutrition and reducing malnutrition among children under five, further enhancing community resilience.

SCORE is a member of the Rural Inclusion Network, receiving free access to the Ostrii platform and pro-bono support from the team and Inclusion Ambassadors.

Rural Inclusion partner with IBISA NETWORK in Senegal to drive climate insurance awareness.

We are happy to share that Rural Inclusion has been working with IBISA to develop a series of “edutainment” videos in French and Wolof to increase the awareness of parametric insurance and climate risk management amongst pastoralists and smallholder farmers across Senegal.

This is part of a larger initiative led by IBISA, supported by SCBF
