Our TOP Story
Economic Empowerment of Endorois Women and PWDs
Through training in income generating activities, EIWEN has facilitated women groups to engage in soap making and agro-ecological activities e.g. establishment of tree nurseries for PWDs and kitchen gardens for improved livelihoods. The organization advocated for access to clean water through promotion of treatment of river water to remove fluoride and negotiated for drilling of a borehole by Lake Bogoria Spa. EIWEN successfully advocated for allocation of resources to women by the county government of Baringo where the government adopted a 60:30 ration in resource allocation. As a result of EIWEN’s efforts, 60% of the resources were allocated to bursary (out of which 6.6% has been earmarked for PWDs), 30% for development, 5% administration and 5% to issuance of PPEs during Covid-19. In addition we have integrated PWDs in community groups so as to mainstream their issues in local development.
