Indigenous women uniting to bolster their knowledge and resilience to climate impacts In progress

This unique network of 64 Indigenous women CSOs has engaged over 1,000 women and girls in climate mitigation and adaptation strategies that improve water and food security for their communities. They have established kitchen gardens and are generating alternative sources of income through organic briquette making, native species tree planting, beadwork, medicinal herb collecting, and beekeeping. This program helps reduce deforestation and C02 emissions from firewood and reinforce climate resilience in severely affected areas of Kenya via conservation agriculture, rehabilitating local seeds and crops. It promotes gender justice by supporting women’s leadership and decision-making power in Indigenous communities.
