Tumaini Women’s Group - Tsavo, Kenya

KC-MAU-008

The Tumaini Women’s Group was established in 2002 to empower local women who suffer from gender-based poverty, violence, illiteracy, and health issues. With virtually no formal employment opportunities, poor climatic conditions for agriculture and poor access to loans, the group offers support to those women eager to improve their finances through alternative income generation activities such as arts, crafts and eco-tourism.

We offer ongoing support to the women’s groups of the Maungu area in Kenya, so they can develop new skills, generate an income and elevate their status in the community.

2022 Update:

Over 300 pieces of elephant dung paper were made, 400 bracelets and 100 beaded neckless.

15 sessions of gender equality and women empowerment programmes were carried out.

$900 was made from the sales of elephant dung paper and bracelets to boost the Women’s Development Programme.
