This is Narropil Women – a Community Based Organization which makes maasai ornaments and also runs a water project they started called Enduata ngejuk water project (Enduata ngejuk is a maasai phrase that means new vision). These economic activity initiatives have seen them sell their products to the outside world online and are hoping to sell their items to the European market. They are located in Tikondo area of Kimana town, Kimana Location, Loitokitok Sub-County (Kajiado South) in Kajiado county. CBOs have given community members chance to prioritize their needs and be able to understand how best to address them both personally and through external intervention.
In the lead-up to world environment day, Pate Marine Community Conservancy and its partners were spending the planting mangroves in degraded areas in Pate Island in Lamu, Kenya. Mangroves protect shorelines from damaging storm and hurricane winds, waves, and floods. Extensive logging of the trees in the past three or so decades has been a major contributor to the current situation in which a healthy mangrove ecosystem in Kenya is in danger. Restoring mangrove forests is a priority for local communities living along the Kenyan coast-local communities are tapping into the potential mangroves have to offer for development without compromising coastal ecosystems. photo credits to -TNC Africa
