Eco Dada, Lamu (2026)

Today, we celebrate a Constitution founded on dignity, equality and justice for every Kenyan. 🇰🇪

At Eco Dada, we believe menstrual dignity is part of that promise—because no girl or woman should have her education, confidence or future interrupted by her period.

This Katiba Day, let’s turn constitutional values into everyday reality, one dignified period at a time.

Happy Katiba Day 2026!

Eco Dada — Dignity in Every Drop. 🌿💧

Different Contexts. Common Aspirations. Stronger, Healthier Girls.

As the world marks International Youth Day 2026 under the theme “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations,” Eco Dada, supported by Siasa Place, brought the spirit of action to Wiyoni, Mkomani Ward, through a meaningful Pad Drive and community sensitization initiative.

Young mothers and girls were empowered with practical knowledge on making reusable sanitary pads—an eco-friendly, affordable and sustainable solution made from locally available materials. This is more than menstrual hygiene; it is about dignity, confidence, environmental responsibility and keeping girls in school and young women empowered.

The initiative also distributed dignity packs and created space for important health conversations, including malaria prevention, the importance of sleeping under treated mosquito nets, and simple steps communities can take to protect themselves and their families.

When we equip young people with knowledge, skills and dignity, we give them the power to shape healthier and more resilient communities.

From menstrual dignity to malaria prevention, every action counts. Every girl matters. Every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive.

Different contexts. Common aspirations. One shared future.

It was a great honor for Eco Dada Director to be among the proud graduates during the Leadership and Governance Graduation Ceremony, celebrating the successful completion of a transformative Leadership and Governance Training Programme by 60 dedicated community leaders.

The programme, organized by the Northern Rangelands Trust(NRT) with generous support from the Embassy of Denmark in Kenya and Somalia, brought together leaders from Community Conservancies, Community Forest Associations (CFAs), Beach Management Units (BMUs), women's groups, youth organizations, and other community institutions. Through intensive training, participants were equipped with practical leadership, governance, accountability, conflict resolution, and community engagement skills that will strengthen local institutions and promote sustainable development across our communities.

At Eco Dada, we firmly believe that empowered leaders create empowered communities. This training has not only enhanced our leadership capacity but has also reinforced our commitment to championing environmental conservation, women's empowerment, climate resilience, community participation, and the implementation of Nature-based Solutions that protect our ecosystems while improving livelihoods.

As graduates, we leave this programme inspired, better equipped, and more determined to serve our communities with integrity, transparency, inclusivity, and purpose. The knowledge, networks, and experiences gained throughout this journey will have a lasting impact as we work together to build resilient, peaceful, and sustainable communities.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all 60 graduates for their dedication, resilience, and commitment to becoming agents of positive change. Your achievement is not only a personal milestone but also an investment in the future of our communities.

Our sincere appreciation goes to the Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT), the Embassy of Denmark in Kenya and Somalia, the facilitators, mentors, and all partners whose unwavering support made this programme possible. Your investment in community leadership is helping shape a new generation of leaders committed to good governance, conservation, and sustainable development.

Together, we are nurturing leaders who inspire change, strengthen institutions, protect our natural resources, and create a better future for generations to come.

Mangroves thrive when people work together.

For four inspiring days in Lamu, conversations, partnerships and action centered on one of our greatest natural treasures—mangrove ecosystems.

From 23–26 July 2026, Lamu County hosted the Global Mangrove Alliance (GMA) Kenya Chapter Quarter 2 Meeting, the National Mangrove Dialogue, the National Mangroves Stakeholder Forum, and the national celebrations of the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem 2026. These engagements united government institutions, coastal communities, researchers, civil society organizations, development partners and the private sector to share knowledge, strengthen collaboration and advance practical solutions for the conservation and sustainable management of Kenya's mangroves.

Eco Dada was proud to participate in these important conversations, engaging with diverse stakeholders, exchanging ideas, building meaningful partnerships and learning from communities at the forefront of mangrove restoration and conservation.

The biggest takeaway from Lamu is simple yet powerful: protecting mangroves is not just about restoring forests—it is about bringing people together. Strong partnerships create resilient ecosystems, thriving coastal livelihoods and a more climate-resilient future for generations to come.

Together, we can protect our blue ecosystems, empower our communities and safeguard the future of Kenya's coastline.

Eco Dada Participates in Kenya's 2026 World Mangrove Day Celebrations in Lamu

Eco Dada proudly joined the nation in commemorating the 2026 International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem at Majengo Grounds, Lamu County, alongside government leaders, conservation agencies, development partners, and local communities.

The event was led by the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, Dr. Deborah Mlongo Barasa, who emphasized the critical role of Kenya's mangrove forests in protecting coastlines, conserving biodiversity, supporting coastal livelihoods, and combating climate change through blue carbon. She noted that Lamu County hosts nearly 61% of Kenya's mangrove forests, making it central to the country's conservation and blue economy efforts.

The celebrations also reaffirmed the Government's commitment to the campaign, highlighted successful community-led restoration initiatives, and showcased the Lamu Blue Carbon Project, which aims to restore approximately 4,000 hectares of mangrove forests while creating sustainable livelihood opportunities.

At Eco Dada, we believe that protecting mangroves means protecting our environment, strengthening community livelihoods, and securing a sustainable future. We remain committed to working with communities and partners to promote environmental conservation, climate resilience, and nature-based solutions across Lamu and beyond.

🌱 Together, let us conserve our mangroves today for a greener and more resilient tomorrow.

Stepping into the mud to protect what sustains us.

On 23rd July 2026, Eco Dada proudly joined partners in commemorating the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem at Mkokoni, Kiunga Marine National Reserve, Lamu County.

The Mud Bath (MAD BATH) was more than an activity—it was a symbol of commitment, resilience, and collective action. Every muddy step, every planted mangrove, and every volunteer's effort contributes to restoring coastal ecosystems, protecting biodiversity, strengthening climate resilience, and securing livelihoods for future generations.

Together, we restore. Together, we protect. Together, we grow.
