Where conservation creates jobs, wealth and brings peace

Samburu women, sit and work on beaded products to sell, during a Women's Peace Initiative facilitated by Josephine Ekiru and Pauline Longojine, both NRT (Northern Rangelands Trust) Peace Co-ordinators at the Kalama Conservancy. Kalama Conservancy is one of 33 member conservancies under NRT's umbrella.

Margaret Lekaria and other women break in song and dance as we walk to their homes in Kalama Community Conservancy in Samburu County.

The women’s faces beam with joy as they settle down, each picking their set of beads to continue preparing jewellery as we engage them in a conversation.
