At the close of 2021 the global economy was growing at a strong rate of 5.6% in 2021; Global economy experts had predicted a continued growth of 4.3% in the New Year 2022 though with divergences across continents and countries. The economic recovery in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) was to remain generally weak as low rates of Covid-19 vaccination continued to weigh on activity and confidence.
At the beginning of 2021, SOS Children’s Villages Kenya demonstrated high levels of resilience and commitment to delivering on its promise to program beneficiaries within a national context largely influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The triple implications of the pandemic in 2021, the health implications, economic effects and the behavioural changes, defined the context within which the Member Association conducted business during the year.
The National Director’s Award 2020 helped positively engage full time children, young persons and care workers who were now boiling over after close to 9 months of containment fatigue inside the children’s villages.
In 2019, Kenya made considerable political, structural and economic reforms that have contributed to social development, economic growth and political stability over the last decade. Despite these positive strides, Kenya’s development challenges still include poverty, inequality, climate change and the vulnerability of the economy to internal and external shocks.
