Our Compass
Vision & Mission
The long view we are working toward - and the work that gets us there, day by day.
Vision and Mission
Our Mission
To empower pastoralist women and youth through participatory advocacy, legal literacy, and climate-smart farming - enabling them to secure land rights, influence policy, and build climate resilience in their communities.
Who We Are
Our Core Values
Five commitments that shape every workshop we run, every clinic we hold, and every partnership we build.
Core Values
Justice
We believe in the inherent right of all people, regardless of gender, to own and control land and resources.
Participation
We place women and youth at the center of decision-making, ensuring their voices shape the policies that affect their lives.
Climate Action
We recognise that securing women’s land rights is essential to building climate resilience and sustainable livelihoods.
Partnership
We work collaboratively with communities, civil society, and government institutions to achieve lasting change.
Empowerment
We equip communities with knowledge, skills, and platforms to advocate for their rights.
Our Story
Born from Community, Built for Change
ULIMBWENDE LINKS WOMEN FRONT emerged from the lived realities of pastoralist women in West Pokot - a county where prolonged droughts, shifting grazing grounds, and insecure land tenure have left women and children most exposed.
Recognising that land rights and climate resilience are inseparable, we weave together legal literacy, regenerative agriculture, and youth leadership into a single, community-grounded movement.
Every workshop held, every land document secured, and every drought-resistant crop planted is a step towards the just, climate-resilient future we envision for all pastoralist communities.
How We Work
Our Approach
Community-rooted, evidence-led, and built for the long term.
Our Approach
01
Community-led design
Every programme begins with listening - to women’s groups, peace committees, and traditional leaders - so that what we build fits the realities on the ground.
02
Evidence-led practice
We track what works, share our findings openly, and adapt our approach when the evidence - or the climate - tells us we must.
03
Long-term partnership
We don’t arrive with a two-year project and leave. We commit to multi-year relationships with communities, local government, and peer organisations.
