Our organisation is a grassroots Indigenous-led justice network working in Garissa County, Kenya. We advance Indigenous Peoples’ rights, climate justice, and community self-determination in the face of climate change, land dispossession, and exclusion from decision-making.
Our mission is to strengthen Indigenous leadership and collective power through rights-based advocacy, Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), and community organising. We work to ensure that Indigenous communities are not only protected from harmful development and climate projects, but are recognised as rights-holders and solution-providers.
Our core programmes include FPIC and land and resource rights advocacy; climate justice and adaptation initiatives rooted in Indigenous knowledge; community research and documentation; legal and policy engagement; and capacity-building for women, youth, and traditional leaders. We also facilitate grassroots dialogues, movement building, and solidarity actions linking local struggles to national, regional, and global justice spaces.
Through partnerships with civil society networks, social movements, and Indigenous organisations, we amplify community voices in climate governance, development planning, and accountability processes. Our work is grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems, social justice, gender equity, and intergenerational leadership.
We envision resilient Indigenous communities with secure land rights, meaningful participation in climate and development decisions, and the power to shape their own futures.
