Indigenous Women from Samburu,Narok,Marsabit and Westpokot gathered together at Naramam Resource and knowledge centre to celebrate the event.Under the theme “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow”,Indigenous women were able to be educated on so many issues.

 

Achievements

Women groups from Narok South have joined hands in efforts to conserve the environment and address issues of climate change. The women say they were worst hit by the scarcity of rain caused by deforestation activities in the Mau Forest which forced them to walk several kilometers in search of water. Under the umbrella of Paran Women Groups, they have pledged to change the narrative.
