Honoured to have finally met members from Owino Uhuru community together with partners @phyllis_omido @CJGEA, EROG. They have set a presedent on environmental justice and right to healthy environment for others to follow. @KIOSFoundation @Ulkoministerio @HeikkaRR @annikaigo

[InformAction Kenya @InformAction_KE]

Through this onboarding exercise, the grantees are better equipped to advance accountable governance, promote gender equality & champion environmental justice, fostering sustainable, community-led solutions while amplifying local voices.

As part of the ASAL cluster under the #HakiNiYetu Project, supported by @EUinKenya, we’ve successfully onboarded our CACEG grantees in Bungoma County.
This marks a key step in strengthening grassroots and county-based organizations driving change in their communities.

This support was made possible through development cooperation funds from MFA Finland.
