Elong'o Afrika Initiatives joined other Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Angata Barikoi Ward, Kilgoris Constituency, to commemorate the Day of the African Child 2026 and raise awareness on the importance of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in promoting children's health, dignity, and education.
Key discussions highlighted that:
✅Clean water is essential for drinking, cooking, and personal hygiene.
✅Proper sanitation includes access to safe toilets and effective waste disposal systems.
✅Good hygiene practices, especially handwashing with soap, help prevent the spread of diseases.
✅Access to water, sanitation, and hygiene contributes to improved school attendance and academic performance.
✅Governments, communities, and organizations must work together to ensure that every child has access to these essential services.
As we celebrate the Day of the African Child, we reaffirm our commitment to advocating for children's rights and creating communities where every child can thrive.

Through the collaborative efforts of Elongo Africa Initiatives and the Maasai Mara Youth Council, we successfully hosted a youth engagement forum that brought together young people and FORUMCIV to discuss issues that directly impact their lives and communities.The forum created a safe space for meaningful dialogue on Gender-Based Violence (GBV), Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), conservation, and land rights. Young people shared their experiences, challenges, and ideas while collectively exploring practical solutions and pathways for positive change.When youth are given a platform to speak, listen, and lead, communities become stronger, more inclusive, and more resilient.
Together, we are building a future where young people are informed, empowered, and actively involved in shaping decisions that affect their lives and the landscapes they call home.

Telling Our Stories Through Beading

Restoration is not only about restoring the land—it is also about restoring livelihoods, culture, and opportunity.For generations, beadwork has been a cherished part of Maasai identity, carrying our stories, traditions, and heritage from one generation to the next. What was once practiced mainly as a leisure activity is now becoming a professional skill and a source of income for women.Today, we celebrate the graduation of women from our professional beadwork training program. Through every bead, they tell the stories of our land, preserve our culture, and create economic opportunities for their families.
When women thrive, communities thrive,culture is valued, heritage lives on.

How did indigenous women deal with mental health issues ?

For generations, our elders have listened to the birds, the wind, and the land to understand seasons and climate change. Indigenous knowledge is not outdated it is wisdom rooted in nature and coexistence.
At Tales of Our Land and Elongo Afrika Initiatives, we believe the voices of elders and local communities matter in protecting our future.
The birds are speaking. Are we listening?

Today, we brought together youth from Ntulele area Transmara South in a powerful and open forum to openly discuss the challenges they face and explore practical, locally driven solutions.
We began with mental health advocacy, grounding the conversation in indigenous knowledge and traditional approaches to healing. This helped create a deeper understanding of how young people can stay rooted, focused, and better navigate life’s pressures and opportunities.

The discussion also expanded to key issues such as economic empowerment, advocacy, and the growing impact of climate change on livelihoods, conservation, and the wider community. By connecting experiences from home, community, and personal wellbeing, we gained a clearer picture of the realities young people are facing.

In collaboration with the Konema women, we fostered a shared space for dialogue, learning, and collective action. Together, we identified practical pathways for stronger youth inclusion and explored realistic, community-based approaches to economic empowerment.
This meaningful progress , understanding, and building solutions from within the grassroots communities.
