Wellcome Trust

Climate Health Action through Research, Mobilization, and Engagement of Stakeholders in Kenya (CHARMES)


Funding from Wellcome Trust is supporting Anne, Soujanya, and close collaborator Dr. Dalmas Omia (University of Nairobi) as we work to make community experiences of climate change and health visible to decision-makers; to connect stakeholders across levels, from communities to the Kenyan national government; and to accelerate initiatives with buy-in from across levels and areas of the country, including a climate and health early warning system. The Wellcome grant also funded collection of real-time data on heat and humidity, movement, and mental and physical health across herders with different livelihoods in Northern Kenya. The CHARMES project is a collaboration between many entities, including Washington State University (lead), the Kenya Medical Research Institute, the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (TPH), and more.
