ChildFund Kenya's Orange-Fleshed Sweet Potato Project

March 4, 2026

The Orange-Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP) Project is transforming lives through improved nutrition and livelihoods in Central Turkana County, Kenya. By promoting the production and consumption of vitamin-rich sweet potatoes, the programme has helped reduce child malnutrition rates from over 30% to approximately 19–21%, while strengthening household incomes and food security for hundreds of families.

In 2024, ChildFund Kenya allocated 83% of its total operating expenses to programs supporting vulnerable children, families, and communities.
