Excited to kickstart a project dubbed “Envisioning Resilience” by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) hosted NAP Global network & @lensational as an implementing partner.
The Envisioning resilience project aims to amplify the voices of the underrepresented in the National Adaptation Planning Processes in Kenya through photography training! With this project, we will cover the whole of Kajiado County.
We are excited to take on this role as an organization keen in building climate resilience & gender equality within pastoralists communities
This project is undertaken with the Financial Support of Global Affairs Canada 🇨🇦
Climate change is here, and women are bearing the brunt of its impacts. Daily tasks like fetching water are becoming harder as sources dry up.
We demand Climate Justice—solutions that protect our communities and ease this burden!
Women are on the forefront of #climateaction and hence need to be empowered & supported to realize their full potential. In this video, you see how women have come out in numbers to diversify their livelihoods by venturing into businesses instead of over relying on pastoralism which is now threatened by #climatechange
@spring_of_the_asal is empowering such women through its Enkang’ Model to help them build resilience to climate change. Check them out!!
Exciting News from Enkang Village!
Our skills training has officially begun at Enkang Village by SASAL! This is a key part of our holistic approach to climate resilience & gender equality, and we are thrilled that our women’s economic empowerment program is already in motion.
Despite the challenge of not having a classroom, these incredible women are determined to learn and grow. We have started with Foundational Training—covering business skills, mindset shifts, and attitude change—to equip them for sustainable livelihoods.
We urgently need support to construct a modern classroom for this purpose. Empowering a woman means empowering an entire society!

In April 2024, a devastating flooding event swept across Entasopia village in Kajiado County, destroying valuable property and infrastructure.
However, a section of the community was hit particularly hard as the river drastically changed its course, flooding their homes and farmland. This not only brought their livelihoods back to zero but also took a heavy toll on their psychological and emotional well-being.
What are these invisible effects—those that cannot be seen with the human eye or quantified economically? Stay tuned for a case study we are currently working on to shed light on this critical issue.
In the meantime, watch the documentary we filmed last year immediately after the floods: https://www.youtube.com/eMEp5DKQvi0?si=xztMRV5qi_qCVTGP.
At COP29, we organized a powerful action under this theme to advocate for loss and damage funding for frontline communities. Those on the frontlines of the climate crisis—like indigenous and pastoralist communities—are losing their homes, livelihoods, and ways of life due to a crisis they contributed least to.
This action was a bold call to world leaders:
👉 Pay up for the losses and damages experienced by vulnerable communities.
👉 Act with urgency to deliver climate justice where it’s needed most.
The time for promises is over. It’s time for action, accountability, and support for those bearing the brunt of the climate crisis.
