Late 2025 Project
International Lawyers Project
Nalala Tree Foundation, in partnership with the International Lawyers Project (ILP), proudly stands with our Maasai Indigenous communities from Narok, Kajiado, and parts of Nakuru County, including our vibrant Maa families from Olkaria. As global attention increasingly turns toward Carbon Credit projects on Indigenous lands, we are empowering our communities through knowledge, awareness, and action — strengthening their understanding of Human and Land Rights, and protecting their livelihoods, culture, and future. This training goes beyond learning it’s a movement for justice, empowerment, and meaningful participation, ensuring that Maasai voices lead in shaping decisions that impact their land and destiny
Late 2025 Project
In a powerful training convened by the Nalala Tree Foundation in collaboration with the International Lawyers Project (ILP), Maasai Indigenous climate activists, land rights defenders, gender advocates, youth, women, persons with disabilities, community leaders, environmental experts, and legal practitioners from Kenya and Tanzania gathered to reclaim the climate justice narrative. Participants emphasized that carbon market projects cannot be just if they dispossess Indigenous Peoples of ancestral lands and silence community voices. They called for people-centered, rights-based climate action that protects land, dignity, and livelihoods through Indigenous knowledge and community consent. The message was clear: true climate justice begins with land justice.

The Maasai community is calling for meaningful inclusion in policy-making, especially in negotiations on carbon credits and Loss and Damage funding. Despite contributing very little to global emissions, they are among the hardest hit by climate change. Between 2021 and 2023, over 4.5 million livestock died due to prolonged droughts, pests, parasites, and disease. Currently, more than 380,000 households in Kajiado County struggle to afford even one meal a day. Women and girls bear the greatest burden. They walk long distances in search of water and food, facing risks such as wildlife attacks, attempted rape, and domestic violence when they return home late. Poor sanitation and lack of water severely affect women and school-going girls, especially during menstruation. Many girls sit in scorching classrooms unable to concentrate, leading to low confidence and school dropouts.
