Women & Climate Change (Nkijape O Ntomonok)

In 2012, a participatory video project in Kenya brought Ilchamus women together to explore how climate change influences their lives. They made this video to discuss the more severe flooding of the past few years as well as other changes in their natural environment, such as deforestation, and to explain how these changes have negatively affected their well-being by ruining their huts, damaging roads and causing conflicts between tribes, scarcity of firewood and health problems for them, their children and their livestock. The women decided to use the project 'to create unity' among themselves by starting women's groups to support each other.

The project was organised and implemented by local Maasai facilitators from InsightShare, with support from a senior facilitator from South Africa.  It was made possible with the support of the Lia Fund.
