In 2012, the programme launched an expanded mandate covering more interventions and other regions in Kenya. Most recently, AAH Kenya programme has expanded to incorporate the Mara Enterprise Development project that is a two-year project that aims to support development of an ‘entrepreneurial mind-set’ in community members and is primarily working with livestock keepers, women traders and the youth to improve their economic well-being. The programme is also implementing a livelihoods project in agriculture working with refugees in the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Turkana County funded by UNHCR.
The workforce in AAH includes office staff, drivers and housekeepers. AAH employs a large majority of host community.
OSHA 2007 stipulates that the occupier (Employer) of a workplace shall cause a thorough safety and health, risk assessment and fire risk assessment audits of his workplace to be carried out at least once in every period of twelve months by a registered safety and health and fire audits advisor who shall issue a report of such an audit containing the prescribed particulars to the occupier on payment of a prescribed fee and shall send a copy of the report to the Director of the Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services.
