Safe Dada Foundation works with Maasai communities, learning and understanding their culture, to support them in adapting to climate change while promoting women’s human rights. The Jambo Jirani – Hello Neighbour-project assists girls who dropped out of school due to patriarchal discrimination, like gender-based violence, limited access to menstrual hygiene products, and domestic care burden. They support volunteering groups to transition from pastoralist lifestyles that are no longer sustainable due to climate change, to resilient farming practices, by offering seedlings and organic compost. Safe Dada Foundation also empowers Maasai women to convert waste into handmade products that they can sell.
