About Us

Nalala Tree Foundation

Nalala Tree Foundation is a young, Indigenous women-led grassroots organization advancing climate justice, environmental restoration, and sustainable livelihoods for Indigenous communities in Kenya. Founded and led by Indigenous Maasai women, the Foundation was born from lived experience — the realities of land dispossession, climate-induced livestock loss, gender inequality, and cultural marginalization. Operating at the intersection of environmental conservation, cultural preservation, and social empowerment, Nalala Tree Foundation ensures that Maasai women, youth, and Indigenous Peoples are not merely beneficiaries, but leaders in shaping solutions for their land, culture, and future. We believe that climate justice begins with land justice, and that sustainable development must respect Indigenous knowledge systems, community governance structures, and women’s leadership.

Why Nalala Tree Foundation Matters

Indigenous communities contribute the least to climate change yet suffer its worst consequences.

Pastoralist women walk longer distances for water, lose livestock to prolonged droughts, and face systemic exclusion from land ownership and decision-making processes.

Nalala Tree Foundation exists to change this narrative.

We Ensure:
  • Climate action is inclusive
  • Conservation respects Indigenous land rights
  • Development strengthens, not erodes, cultural identity
  • Women and youth shape their own future
