🐴 Creating Opportunities for Youth—and Better Lives for Horses in Kenya.
With limited formal employment opportunities, young entrepreneurs in Kenya are finding creative ways to earn a living—including offering horse rides to families and children at parks, beaches, and community events.
At Nairobi’s Uhuru Park, Peter is one of eight horse owners who bring their horses to the park on weekends. But while this growing business offers new opportunities, owners face challenges accessing affordable veterinary care, proper riding equipment, and essential services to keep their horses healthy.
That’s where Brooke USA and field partner, Brooke East Africa, is stepping in.
By engaging with horse owners, veterinarians, county authorities, and community leaders, Brooke East Africa is advocating for better animal welfare, trained horse handlers, access to veterinary care, and designated riding areas that help keep horses and the public safe.
Because supporting young people to build sustainable livelihoods should go hand in hand with ensuring the horses they depend on receive the care they deserve.
When people and horses thrive together, everyone benefits. 💚
