Endorois Indigenous Women Empowerment Network (EIWEN) works with Indigenous communities to strengthen livelihoods, protect cultural knowledge, advance rights and build climate-resilient communities.
EIWEN has supported Indigenous communities to strengthen sustainable beekeeping as a climate-resilient livelihood while promoting environmental conservation and intergenerational knowledge transfer.
The initiative includes community engagement, capacity building, documentation of good practices, awareness creation and development of educational materials on sustainable apiculture, hive management and honey value addition.
The project promotes income generation, biodiversity conservation and the preservation of Indigenous beekeeping knowledge.
EIWEN supports women and persons with disabilities through income-generating activities and agroecological initiatives designed to improve household livelihoods.
Activities include support to women groups, soap making, kitchen gardens and establishment of tree nurseries, particularly supporting inclusive participation in local development.
Economic empowerment is connected with environmental sustainability, inclusion and community participation.
