ASAL Humanitarian Network (AHN)
Stories and Insights from the Field
Field Diaries
Field diaries capture first-hand accounts from AHN member organizations working in Kenya’s ASAL regions, offering a closer look at community realities and responses.
The ASAL Humanitarian Network’s field diaries share personal perspectives, observations, and lessons from member organizations engaged in humanitarian and development work. These narratives highlight the day-to-day realities of project implementation, the challenges faced, and the resilience demonstrated by communities in Kenya’s Arid and Semi-Arid Lands. Each diary entry brings forward authentic voices that often remain unheard in formal reports.
Readers gain unique insights into how local actors adapt to changing circumstances, collaborate with communities, and innovate to address pressing needs. Field diaries serve as a platform for storytelling that strengthens understanding, builds empathy, and fosters appreciation for the dedication and expertise of those working on the frontlines of humanitarian action.
