Women of Impact highlights the power of women’s leadership through the CARE-WWF Alliance Sowing Change initiative in Kenya. We're working alongside communities to create sustainable livelihoods and help amplify women’s voices and the actions they take for their own communities.
Sowing Change is a livelihood-to-leadership initiative where women lead their communities to identify local solutions to climate challenges. As the water gatherers, food producers, and stewards of natural resources, women have intimate insight into the real effects of our changing climate. Including them in resource decisions is vital to ensuring sustainable solutions that will work now and help their families adapt along the way.
Sowing Change is active in Kenya’s Western Kilimanjaro Amboseli-Chyulu sub-landscape near the southern border of Tanzania where WWF-Kenya works with CARE Kenya to support women and their communities in starting nature-based enterprises like beekeeping and goat farming, with an emphasis on addressing poor milk production and marketing through improved feeding systems, enhanced milk chains, more resilient dairy breeds and strengthening of milk marketing.
With Sowing Change, the CARE-WWF Alliance takes an important step in aligning nature and people in the pursuit of solutions to restore our planet. Solutions that start small, adapt to localized learning, and expand to nearly all regions globally.
