4. Environment: - tree nurseries in the development stations and in the communities.
5. Social groups are mobilized in tree planting and cleaning towns.
6. Social services: - response to emergencies e.g. famine.
7. Hospitality: - hostels.

2. Sustainability Programme .

The Sustainability projects operate in all the stations across the region. The main objectives of these projects include;

•  Providing appropriate and affordable Information Technology (IT) skills to young people in order for them to be IT compliant.

•  Complementing the existing health program by introducing more elaborate curative, preventative and promotive health care services.

The sustainability activities/enterprises are the following;

•  Clinic and laboratory services. This is in all the 8 stations.

•  ACK Mt. Kenya hospital. The hospital provides specialized services like Diabetes, MCH and Comprehensive HIV/AIDS care services. These services are provided in addition to all other in-patient and out-patient curative and preventive health care. The GoK has recognized this crucial role and donated an Ambulance to ACK Mt. Kenya Hospital and seconded a medical doctor to enhance its performance.

•  Farm, Livestock units and Agro-vets stores. This is in all stations.

•  Others are computer classes and stationery shop.

These projects and the Hospital sustain their core activities and generate some surplus. The staff population in these enterprises totals to 86. The management of these projects is handled at different levels. The project staff and SDC at station level, and the management/monitoring committee and the Board at the regional level.

Because of the long drought, most of the farm related enterprises did not produce much yield and thus no surplus realized in 2005. However, it was very encouraging to see the school leavers and high school students accessing and advancing their knowledge and skills on IT in the rural areas for self-employment or developing their educational career.
