In Nyeri County, Kenya, a group of caregivers of children with cerebral palsy is turning coffee farming into empowerment. Through the Cerebral Palsy Warriors CBO, they’re creating livelihoods, promoting inclusion, and building sustainable, traceable coffee value chains.
The background
The Cerebral Palsy Warriors (CP-Warriors) is a community-based organization (CBO) located in Nyeri County, Kenya. It consists mainly of caregivers, predominantly mothers, who provide daily care for children living with cerebral palsy (CP). The group, which currently has 15–20 members, was founded in 2021 by Ms. Esther Kariuki as a support network to bring together parents and caregivers of children with CP to share experiences, learn from one another, and find solutions to the challenges of caregiving.
