Designed effective multi-sectoral approaches to sustainably reduce acute malnutrition. Isiolo county has experienced recurring high rates of global acute malnutrition over the last decades, and there are indications that the problem is worsening, in spite of efforts made to address it.

Fodder Production and Marketing
Fodder Production Reap Much in Kinna Ward of Isiolo County
Lack of quality fodder, especially during drought, is a major limiting factor in improving livestock production in the Northern Areas of Kenya. The work undertaken to improve fodder yields and fodder quality through the introduction and evaluation of improved fodder production system championed by both the County government of Isiolo and Development partners has started working immensely. In recent years, Isiolo has grappled with drought diminishing the quality and quantity of livestock feeds. Compounding this is poor technical knowledge of fodder production and the unsustainable use of limited natural resources. In order to face the future successfully, farmers will have to adapt to changing and more extreme weather patterns, and will need to develop environmentally sustainable and efficient solutions to improve animal production.
Kinna Community Water Project
Commissioning of Water Project in Kinna Ward of Isiolo County
Universal access to safe drinking water is a fundamental need and human rights. Securing access for all would go a long way in reducing illness and death, especially among children. Access to a reliable clean and safe water source will unlock potential by returning time for study, and work. It is against this backdrop, that The Methodist church of Kenya Kinna branch has lifted the burden of searching for this precious commodity after securing partnership with the Water for The World organisation in drilling of a borehole in Kinna, Isiolo County. According to Hussein Dima representative of Water for The World said that the project is aimed at improving livelihoods of Kinna residents and Isiolo County at large.
