✅️Thriving Beyond Recovery – Phase 2

The learning continued! 💚

As we kick off Thriving Beyond Recovery (TBR) Phase 2, in partnership with , AWAK engaged the same cohort in another day of learning, focusing on value addition through baking and mental health wellness.

Following the earlier training on climate-smart urban farming, clean energy briquette making and business development, participants gained practical baking skills that can open up additional income-generating opportunities, alongside insights into the importance of mental health and emotional well-being.

By combining livelihood skills, entrepreneurship and mental wellness, TBR Phase 2 aims to support holistic recovery, strengthen economic empowerment and build more resilient futures.

We are excited about this journey with and the positive impact these skills will bring to the communities we serve! 🌿✨

Happy Mazingira Day🌾🌳

​For the communities we work with at AWAK, caring for the environment isn't just a holiday, it’s an everyday reality.

​Every tree planted and every sustainable farming practice adopted is a direct step toward securing the future of our local communities. Today, we celebrate the practical, hands-on work that actually makes a difference.

​Transform . Grow . Prosper.

🌱 Thriving Beyond Recovery – Phase 2

We are proud to announce our new partnership with as we launch Thriving Beyond Recovery (TBR) Phase 2 in Nairobi.

The project has officially kicked off with a training activity conducted in collaboration with Compassion Ministries, where young mothers were equipped with practical skills in climate-smart urban farming, clean energy briquette making, and business development.

Through TBR Phase 2, we look forward to supporting communities to build more resilient livelihoods, strengthen food and nutrition security, create income-generating opportunities, promote clean energy solutions, and enhance resilience to climate change.

This is just the beginning, and we are excited about the impact and transformation that lies ahead.

A big welcome to OlamAid as our new partner. Together, we look forward to bigger impact and lasting change. 🌿

📌📌Mombasa County

Last week, the Association of Women in Agriculture Kenya (AWAK) had the privilege of hosting our partner at our Mombasa office, before joining fellow Women’s Rights Organisations for a three-day Safe Programming Workshop at PrideInn Paradise Beach Resort, Mombasa.

The Women’s Rights Fund has been an important part of AWAK’s institutional journey—providing flexible, trust-based support during our formative years and enabling us to strengthen our systems, leadership and capacity to navigate the development sector with greater confidence and independence.

Today, we are proud of how far we have come! 🥳🎉

The Safe Programming workshop further strengthened our understanding of how to ensure that our programmes are safe, inclusive, accountable and responsive to the rights and dignity of the communities we serve.

We are grateful to Oxfam Great Britain and Oxfam Kenya for believing in women-led organisations and demonstrating what flexible, trust-based funding can make possible.

Flexible funding. Shared power. Stronger organisations. Greater impact. 💜

🌱 Strengthening Agroecology Reporting for Better, More Inclusive Action in Nakuru County

Association of Women in Agriculture Kenya - AWAK was represented during the Nakuru County Technical Agroecology Committee (CTAC) meeting, which provided an introduction to the Agroecology Actors Reporting Tool.

The session gave CTAC members a practical overview of how the tool can strengthen the documentation, tracking and reporting of agroecological activities and outcomes by different actors across the county.

📊 Why does this matter?
Effective agroecology requires more than implementing activities—it requires knowing who is Acting , who is being reached, where, how, and with what results. A stronger reporting system can help the county consolidate evidence, identify gaps, track progress and use data to inform planning, resource allocation and more targeted interventions.

👩🏾‍🌾 AWAK underscored the importance of strengthening Gender and Social Inclusion (GESI) within the tool, particularly through enhanced gender-disaggregated data and the integration of key intersectionalities such as age, disability, geographical and other relevant beneficiary characteristics.

This will make it easier to identify who is being adequately reached and who may be left behind, enabling actors to design more responsive, equitable and inclusive agroecological interventions.

For AWAK, better data means better visibility, better accountability and, ultimately, better outcomes for the diverse communities at the heart of agroecology. 🌱🤝🏾

✅️The P.O.W.E.R. Project – Prosperity through Organic Waste & Energy Resilience.

The Association of Women in Agriculture Kenya - AWAK recently held a hands-on training with women and youth in Mombasa on biochar production using drum kilns, equipping participants with practical skills to transform organic waste into a valuable resource.

Through the training, participants explored the biochar production process, from preparing organic materials and safely operating the drum kiln to understanding the resulting biochar and its potential applications.

🌱 Why does this matter?

Biochar provides an opportunity to:
♻️ Reduce and repurpose organic waste
🔥 Promote more efficient and cleaner waste-to-energy practices
🌾 Improve soil health and support more productive and resilient farming
💚 Contribute to climate action through carbon storage
👩🏾‍🌾 Create green livelihood and enterprise opportunities for women and youth

But the real power lies beyond the technology. It is in the people gaining the knowledge and skills to use it, adapt it and turn it into locally driven solutions.

With every training, P.O.W.E.R. is building a growing community of women and youth who can see waste not as something to discard, but as a resource, an opportunity and a pathway to greener livelihoods.

🌱 What if the most important thing we invest in for restoration isn’t just the number of trees we plant, but the power we place in the hands of the communities growing them?

​This week, the Association of Women in Agriculture Kenya (AWAK) team is live at the Great Rift Valley Peer-to-Peer Learning Workshop in Nakuru,Kenya collaborating with other Restoration Champions to understand how we make restoration sustainable.

​Over the course of the week of deep learning, we are connecting every piece of the restoration puzzle:

​🤝 Equity, Power & Decision-Making: Shifting power directly to women, youth, and local land users so they hold true decision-making authority over their resources.

​🌾 Agroecology & Household Food Security: Balancing landscape restoration with community livelihoods, ensuring our ecosystems and food systems thrive together.

​🌲 Site Diagnosis, Maintenance & Tree Survival: Standardizing field monitoring, seedling maintenance, and Assisted Natural Regeneration to measure genuine survival rates over time.

​📱 Mapping Precision & Data Collection: Using real-world field technology to ensure restoration efforts are accurately recorded.

​💡 Outcome-Based Finance & Impact Storytelling: Linking bulletproof field data to innovative financing and mastering how to pitch our impact to unlock lasting capital for our communities.

​Transformative restoration requires leadership that blends technical clarity with on-the-ground care. We are so excited to bring these tools back home to drive real, verifiable impact! 🌍🚀
