The #ITOOCAN Campaign is a climate adaptation initiative by Kids Arise Vihiga, designed to empower young people with the knowledge, resources, and platform to take meaningful climate action.
With climate change already impacting Vihiga County, one of the most urgent threats is food insecurity, which directly affects education and livelihoods. Through education, expert guidance, and innovative solutions, we are ensuring that young people are at the forefront of addressing climate challenges.
