The women in Faza have unique skill sets in culinary and piko henna painting. Piko henna is a fast-staining black dye or dark paste used for quick skin body art, featuring bold floral elements and distinct finger patterns. It differs from traditional natural plant henna by providing an immediate dark or jet-black color.

Most activists, marginalised communities, and economically disempowered communities find it difficult to sustain advocacy in the face of intimidation and abuse of power by impunious individuals or authorities. Enterprise development programme leverages sustainable livelihood and social interventions as strategic entry points into governance and civic engagement. The programme focuses on scaling up existing income-generating enterprises and establishing new entrepreneurial ventures, particularly within marginalized communities. It emphasizes mentoring disadvantaged youth by linking them with business leaders and role models to foster self-confidence and hope. Technology will be harnessed to collect and amplify local stories of change and monitor shifting narratives around governance. Through targeted projects in education, food security, and health, the programme will deepen community participation in public affairs. Additionally, it will build skills for employment by creating linkages between communities and training or business institutions. Central to this approach is the establishment of community-driven hubs that will facilitate civic education, economic empowerment, and the demand for social and livelihood rights. This integrated approach not only enhances economic resilience but also transforms livelihood projects into platforms for democratic participation and narrative change.
This led us to Faza, a historic coastal town located on the northern coast of Pate Island, which is part of the Lamu Archipelago on the northern coast of Kenya.
