Years of Impact
Sustainable people-nature coexistence
ACTNOW KENYA envisions a people-and-nature approach, recognizing that healthy ecosystems and resilient communities depend on each other. We work with these communities to address environmental challenges while creating practical opportunities that improve food security and livelihoods.
Our Mission
To work with communities, young people and women to restore and conserve ecosystems, strengthen sustainable food systems, and build resilient livelihoods through local resources, Indigenous ecological knowledge and community-led action.
Our Vision
Sustainable communities and thriving ecosystems across the Mukogodo Ecosystem, Northern Kenya.
The landscape is changing. So are the lives that depend on it.
Climate & Loss and Damage
Climate change is reshaping water, livelihoods, ecosystems and everyday life.
Pastoral Life & Mobility
Mobility, livestock and access to grazing and water remain central to life across Mukogodo.
Land & Ecosystem Restoration
Pressure on rangelands, forests and water systems is weakening the landscape.
The answer is not to abandon these ways of life. It is to strengthen the people, ecosystems and livelihoods that sustain them.
We are building what comes next…
