group meeting in progress
As more groups are now in their
higher cycles, sustainability of
SILC services has become more
realistic, since they don’t rely on
the PSP support most of the time
and the members have become
resource persons to the community
and other SILC groups which are still developing in overcoming minor challenges. During this
reporting period, a further 23 groups shared out as more other are preparing for sharing out within the
coming months.
From the analysis of the loan usage of the groups it is evident enough, that with easing off on certain
items which previously were consuming a greater percentage of the loans taken, other needs now are
coming up steadily like payment of NHIF. From the reports 231 caregivers have reported using SILC
loans directly down from 143 reported last month and 81paying from the proceeds of other ventures.
This attributed to the fact that loan items like education no longer consume loans thereby leaving
room for other needs. Also, since education is no longer a priority more loans are now used to support
business activities
Total group tally stands at 2012 With total caregiver membership growing to 3177 (M-234, F -2943)
benefiting OVCs 6447 ( M -3118, F -3329). Despite all the challenges witnessed therein, SILC has
shaken off the shock and steadily recovering to post a 41.3% return on savings, and the savings
growing to kshs. 14,116,723.00, a gainst outstanding loans of kshs. 12,011,030.00. With more
groups maturing and sharing out coupled with the fact that many loan items are still inactive like
education have contributed to the low loan fund utilization rate of 58.7% with Loan fund cash in box
standing at kshs. 4,836,983.

Output 2.1.4: Smallholder farmers are better positioned to engage with markets

With indefinite closure of schools, many caregivers who were supplying local boarding
schools with vegetables did find it hard establishing themselves in the local market. And
freezing of open air markets trading further complicated the matter; as such the project
through HES department
reached these caregivers
with SMART skills training
on marketing and market
diversification options to
cushion them against
recurrence of such
phenomenon of over
reliance on one product and
one market.
These efforts are bearing
fruits as more caregivers
have taken up the concept of
crop diversification to
broaden their market reach
and have a diversified
clientele base. with the
support of the MOALF department, 23 caregivers were reached with crop diversification
information so as to be competitive in the market and they don’t flood the local markets with
one product.

Positive Parenting
Positive parenting focuses on creating safe home environments and building a foundation of support
and care for children through affection, quality time, praise and healthy methods of dealing with
difficult behavior, such as positive discipline that teaches pro-social behavior. A total of 40 case
workers were trained on positive parenting where they are expected to cascade the same information
to caregivers during caregiver cluster meetings, 19 teens and 19 caregivers participate in Shujaa teens
program where they meet at The chief camps every month. The program is increasing positivity in
parental skills. Blue Cross Nyatike currently have 20 caregivers, 20(7M 13F ) teens are involved in
the Shujaa Teens program, the team has been briefed on the Shujaa Concept and the attendance have
been consistent ever since.

Share briefly how positive parenting has improved HIV outcomes (Knowledge of HIV status,
Adherence, VL suppression, disclosure, stigma reduction and violence reduction) one of the major
challenges that has been noticed is the caregiver to accept siting in a discussion with the children, the
male parents who are taking care of female ovcs have also shown difficulties in joining the groups to
be able to discuss issues with girl child, the shujaa teens seasons have seen some ovcs change
behavior after realizing that now they can sit down with the caregiver together and talk.
