Kenya Works and our supporters are helping achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals — one community at a time
Kenya Works is proud to be part of a global movement—the United Nations Sustainable Develop
ment Goals—where the actions of our local community ripple out to create worldwide change. By tackling poverty, promoting gender equality, and advancing education and health, every Kenya Works program reflects aspirations shared by people everywhere, united for a better world.
The Power of Collective Action
No single nation or organization can achieve the SDGs alone; it’s only possible with each of us stepping in, lending support and sharing solutions. When supporters join Kenya Works, they do more than contribute locally—they fuel global progress, standing in solidarity with millions who desire fairness, dignity, and hope for children and families everywhere.
Inviting Everyone to Get Involved
Every supporter’s generosity is a crucial link in a worldwide chain of positive impact—from shelters supporting vulnerable children to local jobs generating Makini Pads that reduce waste and empower communities. This month’s email celebrates how Kenya Works connects hearts and hands across continents, and welcomes every recipient to be a part of this uplifting mission—because the SDGs belong to all of us, and together, we can make the future brighter for everyone.
What are the UN Sustainable Development Goals?
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was unanimously agreed upon by the 193 Member States of the UN General Assembly in September 2015. The 2030 Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. Member States resolved to “end poverty in all its forms,” to take bold and transformative steps to “shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path,” and to ensure that “no one will be left behind.”
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership.
They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
Join us in this global
movement to end poverty!
