Our Mission
To protect Indigenous rights, preserve cultural and ecological heritage, and build resilient livelihoods across the Omo-Turkana Basin and other rural areas by bridging Indigenous knowledge with frontier technology, participatory research, and cross-border peacebuilding.
Our Vision
A future where Indigenous communities thrive with dignity, self-determination, and sovereignty over their lands, waters, cultures, and futures—unlocking an enduring and prosperous green and blue economy that serves as a model for the continent.
Our Core Objectives
Strengthen Indigenous Self-Determination
Train community paralegals, advocates, and leaders to claim constitutional rights, monitor development projects, and participate meaningfully in county and national governance.
Safeguard the Basin’s Ecosystems
Establish community-led environmental monitoring, fisheries conservation, and restoration projects that protect Lake Turkana, its wetlands, rangelands, and biodiversity from degradation.
Build Climate and Water Resilience
Combine Indigenous early warning systems with climate science to develop adaptation plans, drought preparedness, and water sovereignty infrastructure, including solar-powered water systems and rainwater harvesting.
Expand Equitable Access to Healthcare
Deploy mobile health clinics, telemedicine hubs, medical drone logistics, and digital health tools to overcome the tyranny of distance in remote settlements.
Preserve and Revitalize Indigenous Languages and Knowledge
Document endangered languages like El Molo, create digital dictionaries and oral history archives, and position the basin’s knowledge systems within global research.
Foster Cross-Border Peace and Mobility
Facilitate peace dialogues, resource-sharing agreements, and traditional conflict resolution mechanisms among communities across Kenya, Ethiopia, and Uganda.
Create Sustainable Livelihoods and Green Economies
Support women’s cooperatives, youth innovation hubs, sustainable fisheries, pastoralist rangeland management, climate-smart agriculture, and renewable energy enterprises.
