S.A.F.E. Narrative for the Accounts 1st Janua to 31st December 2020 S.A.F.E.'S VISION.. S.A.F.E.'s vision is for the Kenyan communities with whom we work to have the information and altitudes necessary to make positive choices for their own lives, Ihe lives of others. and for their community as a whole. S.A.F.E.'S MISSION.. Because we understand that changes to attitudes, behaviours, and choices are necessary for individuals and communities lo aGhieve these goals, we use perforfflance (streel theatre and films) and community programmes as behavioL(r change communication tools to spark debate and discussion and positively influence behaviours. We promote positive change around a range of issues including HIVIAIDS, female genital cutting, gender-based violence. unclean drinking water, environmental sustainability, and radicalisation. WHY IT WORKS: Accessible: S.A.F.E. succeeds where others cannot because we go directly into Kenya's most under-served and hard-to-reach communities and speak to people in a way they trust and enjoy. Local: S.A. F.E.'s work is innovative as it is intrinsically local and has foundations in the genuine participation of communities. By employing only the most talented local actors, young leaders and educators, S.A.F.E. is able to present information in a way that is considered familiar and unlhrealening, and sensitively engage with people on taboo issues. Culturally sensitive: All performances and workshops are delivered in the local language, making the work bolh literally and emotionally accessible - people Gan better relate lo humour, understand nuances and assimilate the educational messages when they are communicated in their dialect. Inspiring.. Theatre has an unrivalled ability to get people thinking about and challen9ing the status quo. The quality of each performance is Grucial to S.A.F.E.'s successful impact, as only
the best actors and plays can emotionally engage and encourage take-up of the positive messages. Connected: The effectiveness of S.A.F.E.'s model is due to the combination of local roots and effeclive partnerships with national. and international delivery partners. By facilitating collaboration between local services and beneficiaries, the necessary relationships to sustain and embed social change are established. Flexible: S.A.F.E.'s approach is based on the need for flexibility and innovation to reaGh specific groups in a way that is relevant to their lives. We use performance as a platform on which to build support networks, school clubs and training programmes, and to deliver non- formal education activities tailored to the specific needs of different groups. S.A.F.E. works with the besl Kenyan artists, and local practitioners to produce plays, cultural performances, and films that address HIVIAIDS, FGMIC abandonment, peacebuilding initiatives, environmental protection, and other social issues. By producing free world-class drama, and harnessing local culture, S.A.F.E. challenges the silence, discriminalion, and stigma that prevent positive change, with a message of compassion, solidarity, and hope. SAFE has operations in Mombasa (under SAFE Pwani), in the Loita Hills (under SAFE Maa), and in Samburu county {under SAFE Samburu). 2020 has been a year that tested the resilience and adaptability of the organization and all the teams across the country. Going through a global pandemic brought a series of challenges as well as opportunities for S.A.F.E. Below is a report on how each team was able to continue harnessing the power of arts and culture, build on their successful projects to deepen Iheir impact in S.A.F.E.'s target communities, and integrate COVID-19 education in their project implementation. SAFE Maa The SAFE Maa team has had a successful year promoting the newly blessed Loita Rite of Passage {LRP- a culturally accepted alternative lo FGC) within the Loita community. Through their schedule of educational activities, which continued throughout Ihe COVID-19 school
closures, the team has been able to strengthen their relationship with the community, in particular the youth. Distribution of COVID-19 protection information, masks, soaps and sanitizer also cemented SAFE Maa's place as a friend of the communlty. SAFE Maa also expanded Ihe reach of their FGC abandonment campaign to the neighbouring region of Olderskesi where they received a warm welcome from both the leadership and community members. Providing an opportunity for growth Ihroughout 2021. In 2020, the team also started thelr pilot Environment Project. The team received a training in the local effects of global climate change, and started conversations about Ihe protection of the Loita Forest during their one on one interventions. Loita and Olderkesi's proximity to Tanzania is a continued source of anxiety for the community due the threat of imported cases of COVID-19. The team continues to monitor the health situatlon both in Kenya and Tanzania to ensure the safety of the team and the community is not compromised by any activity. Outputs Workshops have reached 648 men and women, 78 leaders and 1299 youth. The workshops and forums highlighted the challenges faced by the different groups in ending FGC, and the roles they were playing in the uptake of LRP. Six focus group discLtssions reaching 86 people provided data on the community's attitudinal shifts and generated discussions belween community members. The team engaged with 1500 people during Ihe Manyatla ceremonies, showing continued respect and support for the cultural life of the community. Outreach work by SAFE Maa and SAFE Moran reached 2832 people 8cross Loita. Engaging people even in the mosl remote areas in discussions about the need for FGC abandonment. Sixteen new village representatives were trained in Ihe Olderkesi area. They will work closely with SAFE Maa to dlstribute education about FGC. SAFE Maa's capacily was built through two trainings, one FGC refresher course. and one training on climate change, its effects 8nd mitigation strategies.
SAFE Samburu n¥ SAFE Samburu has made significant progress in both of their programme areas of FGC and HIVIAIDS during 2020. SAFE Samburu's culturally sensitive approach ensured that all community members were educated about harmful practices wilhout feeling as though their beliefs were being altacked. Community engagement in both the Nyiro and Westgate communities deepened. and attitudinal change was observed. The female project participants reported that there are more conversations happening between men and women within the homes about FGC and HIV, showing that Ihe project is generating dialogue within the community. The male project participants also publically talked about the need for change in the cultural practices which abuse women's rights, and put the community at risk of H IV transmission. Nurses from the health centres have also reported an increase in people seeking HTC services showing the community are acting on the attitudinal change which happens within the workshops, and are translating it into real action. The Samburu team also filmed and distributed three short films as a COVID-19 friendly adaplalion of their popular performance tours. The new format was seen as a novelty and it drew large numbers of community members to take part in screening aGtivities across Weslgate and Nyiro. The films address COVID-19, HIVIAIDS and FGC. Outputs Workshops reached over 850 community members providing education about FGC, HIV and COVID-19. Outreach work reached 50 people for one-on-one interventions about FGC and the importance of promoting girls education and avoiding early marriage.
Film screenings of the new short film series reached 5100 people across Westgate and Nyiro. Sixly-four Village committee members were trained providing grass roots support to the people ofwestgate and Nyiro. SAFE Pwani The SAFE Pwani team continued their life saving WASH project- educating communities in Kwale about water, sanitation and hygiene. The team updated this project in March 2020 to include COVID-19 information and education, promoting social distancing, the wearing of masks and building and use of hand wash facilities. The leam also started a new phase of their peace building work, using Ihe S.A.F.E. documentary Who Am l? to generate a dialogue about prejudice and discrimination in Mombasa. The project targets those who have an influence over the youth, and challenges them to think about how their language and actions towards people of a different religion or Iribe - is influencin9 the attitudes of children in their care. WASH Project SAFE Pwani expanded their successful clean water project into the new area of Ndavaya. focusing on Gulanze sub location with an estimated population of 6428.
