This comes few days after the launch of our new climate justice song in Maa Language: Toning’o that will be used to create awareness & inspire a movement 🔥

ADVOCACY; First Ever Climate Justice Song in a Local Dialect!!

Our first advocacy tool- a climate justice song dubbed ‘Toning’o’- meaning Listen! Sang by 3 Maasai local artists

As a grassroot organization working with the indigenous pastoral communities in Kenya, we noted with great concern the lack of their engagement in climate decision making spaces hence their needs ignored. In addition, these communities also lack awareness on climate justice & the appropriate channels to attain it despite being amongst those worst hit by the impacts of #climatechange

We therefore resorted to, through our advocacy program dubbed “Pastoralists Awake; a common voice and agenda” start an intensive internal awareness creation phase to first of all inform the community on climate justice, before strategising on how to effectively claim it. Our aim is to create a movement of a well-informed, knowledgeable pastoral community capable of working towards climate justice.

In particular, we are working towards reparations for the historical losses & damages our communities have experienced & therefore aligning our campaign along the loss and damage fund!

Listen to Toning’o here: https://lnkd.in/dWZm_wXt

CLIMATE JUSTICE ADVOCACY #PATORALISTAWAKE

Since last year, we embarked on a very ambitious advocacy project targeting 3 maa counties; Kajiado, Narok & Samburu. We envisioned a lot, stemming from the lack of awareness on climate justice and hence their exclusion in important decision making spaces & in the creation,design, of important funding instruments meant to compensate communities like ours for the losses & damages they’ve experienced historically as a result of the #climatecrisis

‼️We failed to flag it off last year, felt demoralized but didn’t give up!! We started again this year, completely halting all our field operations to ensure no stone is left unturned!

📝Luckily, we were well received & welcomed by our leaders who showed great interest in listening & learning about this particular initiative which they later embraced. We particularly appreciate the support of our deputy governor (Kajiado) @h.emartinmoshisho who walked the journey with us from day 1.

We are excited to finally launch our advocacy program: “Pastoralists Awake; a common voice & agenda” & unveiling our first advocacy tool (climate justice song) aimed at creating internal awareness within our communities. It envisions a well-informed pastoral community on matters #climatejustice & hence their enhanced & meaningful participation in the #climatediscourse & decision making💯

Baby steps, but let’s dive straight into it🙌📣
