Ambara Hussein is a farmer and mother of five in Northern Kenya. For years, she watched her land turn to dust. Drought killed her crops. Erosion swept away her soil. She felt powerless against the changing climate.
Then WAAP stepped in.
Through WAAP’s Women for Climate Justice initiative, Ambara joined a cash-for-work program focused on restoring her community’s environment. She planted trees, rehabilitated erosion control structures and learned techniques to improve soil and water quality.
“I was not just earning income,” Ambara says. “I was healing my land.”
Today, Ambara’s farm retains water longer. Her crops are surviving dry spells. She has trained other women in reseeding and pest control. She is no longer a victim of climate change she is a solution.
WAAP is supporting women like Ambara to lead natural resource management across Northern Kenya. When women protect the land, the land protects the community.
Thanks to WAAP supporters, Ambara is farming with dignity and fighting for climate justice.
