OFEAS envisions a healthy population for optimal productivity hence better standard of living in society. Therefore, we will work to improve both human and environmental health situation in the sphere of our operation. It has to be acknowledged though that this area has some of the most marginalized communities with dire health and sanitation conditions in the country. Diseases such as malaria, diarrhoea cholera, and HIV/AIDS devastate the area. OFEAS works towards the realisation of national health outcomes in Kenya with the desired outcome that – children, youth and communities have access to appropriate water and sanitation facilities, sufficient food with nutritional components, increased uptake of reproductive health services, increased access to maternal health services, and reduction of child mortality.

Interventions
 Water, sanitation and hygiene
 Food and nutrition
 Policy advocacy on non-communicable diseases
 Sexual reproductive health rights
 Maternal health & child survival
 HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention and referral for care and treatment
 Medical referrals for children with disabilities
 Mobile clinics

In this respect, OFEAS recognizes that community elders, leaders and women are key-solutions in curving the health and hygiene needs of society. As such, OFEAS will try to train and provide capacity to them in these fields. Importantly, they should clearly know their respective role in bringing about healthy population and hygienic environment for the communities in the areas of its focus. As a design, we will continue to partner with other organizations interested in these fields accordingly.

OFEAS considers food security key function for desirable livelihood in society. Therefore, OFEAS envisions deliberate engagement in programs and activities that tackle the root causes of hunger cardinal. Thus, we will proactively address problems of commodity production, access to factors of production, and generation of income in society. To meet basic needs of communities within the realm of our operation, OFEAS will attempt to bolster agricultural production, jumpstart local market activities, support micro-enterprise initiatives, and ensure vulnerable members of communities to sustainable access sources of food and income.

OFEAS considers environmental protection and conservation absolutely cardinal to ensure practical better livelihood for the communities living in the environs therein. Indeed, we stand for practices that guarantee balanced ecosystem conducive to human, domestic-animals and wildlife habitation. We have noted with consternation that the cattle seem more destructive to the natural environment than wildlife. So, more creative ways are demanded particularly to re-socialize pastoralists to manage and utilize cattle differently and appropriately in line with ethical environmental protection and conservation standards.

OFEAS prays that human and domesticated animals enable nature sustained for future generations to appreciate and enjoy. It is essential to regulate the climate to sustain communities and support biodiversity. Therefore, to realize these ecological aims, OFEAS will collaboratively work with local authorities, communities and partners.

OFEAS considers capacity building, formal or informal, as one key ingredient for meaningful development and sustainable prosperity in society as Kenya. In that respect, one of the painful realities in many communities in the country is the poor capacity building standards and lack of the same for the elderly that matters. Based on the maxim: “Little capacity building is worse than No Capacity building”, OFEAS observed with apprehension that where training exist,
the actual elements that constitute capacity building are tremendously wanting, for instance, trainers are often ill equipped or work on a volunteer basis and training materials unavailable; and if, available – untimely notwithstanding the unresolved problem of harmonization of capacity building needs at the national level. Inadequate training/learning spaces leaving elderly persons deficient of knowledge and hence increases chances of vulnerability to property and financial predators ranging from minor to severe and thus affecting the elderly person’s capacity building.

We have evidenced-based belief that formal capacity building is relatively expensive for instance, OFEAS observed that literacy and illiteracy, which are direct products of formal capacity building, are in this modern day-and-age equally direct functions that reduce or perpetuate poverty cycle especially in the peripherized populations in Kenya.

In this regard, OFEAS realizes the fundamental need for tangible community capacity building. Therefore, OFEAS will endeavor to provide basic quality capacity building to children, women and strategic community leaders in communities through different organized
programs as:
(i.) Improve and expand safer capacity building services for children and youth,
(ii.) Enhance the relevance of capacity building and promote elderly people well-being,
(iii.) Improve the quality of capacity building system management through local education
authorities,

(iv.) Provide rapid response mechanisms that will increase the resilience in times of crisis,
(v.) Provide Adult capacity building, and Creative Pastoral education Programs.
(vi.) Promote reporting desk mechanism and retention through provision of communication enablers.
(vii.) Provision of nutrition program for under 5 children enrolled in the Elderly people Development Program.

Truly, OFEAS is consciously aware of the need for elderly people capacity building in some of the most marginalized communities in Kenya like the Nyanza community that it has most served. Demography illustrates that over half of Kenya populace is above 60. Since OFEAS believes the old are current community leaders; thus, the real elderly capacity building empowerment is truly inspiring. As such, OFEAS has tried to partner with local communities and appropriate donors to develop opportunities for children and adults to attend schools where there are none.
