Who we are

A full overview of the organisation

Community Care Alliance is an illustrative bridge organisation that stitches together small community groups so child wellbeing work is coordinated rather than scattered. Across Baringo, it helps village and neighbourhood groups share calendars, referrals and safeguarding habits.

Alliance meetings reduce duplication; joint outreach days link child and family wellbeing to accessible community health efforts; and structured field notes feed community experience into NORCCAPA advocacy and learning products. When a concern needs more than a local group can hold, warm links into association member services keep escalation practical.

NORCCAPA membership since 2018 gives the Alliance a regional table for learning, referrals and joint action with larger member organisations. This profile is a composite example — replace with confirmed member content before publishing as fact.

Purpose

Mission, vision and the change they seek

Mission

To coordinate grassroots groups so children and families meet a joined-up community response.

Vision

Village and neighbourhood groups across Baringo working as one fabric of care for children.

The change

The Alliance seeks less duplication and more coherence at community level — and a regional network that hears grassroots evidence when it designs pathways and advocacy.

Principles in practice

Coordination over competition

Neighbouring groups are stronger when calendars and referrals are shared.

Local ownership

Grassroots groups remain the face of care; the Alliance helps them add up.

Safeguarding as habit

Refreshers and shared norms keep child safety practical, not theoretical.

Evidence with consent

Community stories travel only with care, peer review and clear purpose.

From the field

Notes from the work

Illustrative snapshots of how the organisation shows up for children and families.

Two calendars became one plan

Neighbouring groups discovered they were planning similar outreach in the same week; the Alliance table merged the calendars and shared referral notes. Families met one coordinated day instead of two overlapping visits. Illustrative of coordination practice, not a confirmed event log.

Outreach that escalated with care

A joint health outreach day surfaced a child wellbeing concern; facilitators used the Alliance escalation route into a NORCCAPA protection member. Follow-up confirmed the family was received. Composite tone for health–protection linkage.

Field notes that shaped a joint brief

Consent-aware community notes were peer-reviewed and contributed to a NORCCAPA brief on rural access barriers. Grassroots experience travelled without losing dignity. Illustrative of advocacy contribution, not a published document claim.

How can a grassroots group join the Alliance?

Illustratively, groups join through local convenors after agreeing to shared calendars, referral notes and safeguarding habits. Confirmed membership criteria should come from the Alliance before publication.

How are referrals handled beyond community groups?

When a concern exceeds local capacity, the Alliance aims for warm links into NORCCAPA member services with clear ownership. Live pathway contacts should follow the association map.

What does NORCCAPA membership mean for the Alliance?

As a full member since 2018 in this seed, the Alliance bridges grassroots practice into regional coordination and advocacy. Verify status and contributions with NORCCAPA.

Collaboration usually starts with respect for local group ownership and shared safeguarding standards. Formal volunteering or MoUs should be confirmed directly with the Alliance.
