ISIOLO CONSERVATIONISTS TRUST (ICT011)

The 14th Ewaso Ng’iro Camel Caravan is officially underway at Nkaroni Community Land, bringing communities together to celebrate culture, rangelands and pastoral resilience across the Ewaso Ng’iro North Basin. This year’s caravan is more than a journey across the landscape.Its a space for , dialogue, learning and collective action—and an opportunity to reflect on the future of the landscapes that sustain us. As we mark the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP 2026) we are reminded that healthy rangelands and thriving pastoralist communities are central to a sustainable future. Celebrating Culture, Rangelands, and Pastoral Resilience in the Ewaso Ng’iro North Basin for a Sustainable Future. @Weltfriedensdienst @ipsia_acli @paraanalliance @robertboschstiftung @midpkenya @RPPL006 @Ewasonorth #EwasoNgiroCamelCaravan2026 #IYRP2026 #Rangelands #Pastoralists #PastoralResilience

Today marked the first day of the Ewaso Ng'iro River Camel Caravan 2026, a walking campaign that brings together pastoralist communities, conservation champions, government, and partners to advocate for the protection of the Ewaso Ng'iro River Basin, promote sustainable rangeland management, celebrate pastoralist culture, and elevate the Indigenous knowledge that has sustained these landscapes for generations. Along today's 14-kilometer route, veterinary teams administered the Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) vaccine to 9,212 sheep and goats in Lmeoli, Mabati, and Lpus Loompasion in Samburu East. Beyond protecting livestock, these interventions help secure livelihoods and reinforce the resilience of pastoralist communities who depend on healthy herds. As the world marks the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralism #IYRP2026, the caravan reminds us that sustainable rangelands are inseparable from the communities, cultures, and knowledge systems that have sustained them for generations. @Weltfriedensdienst

Climate change and shrinking economic opportunities continue to place pressure on the future of Indigenous youth across Northern Kenya. But within communities in Laikipia and beyond, a different story is taking shape. The Maiyanat Indigenous Youth Life Skills, Arts and Culture Development Centre is creating opportunity for youth across Northern Kenya—opening up apprenticeship pathways grounded in community realities. Through practical, hands-on learning, young people are building the confidence and capacity to shape their own futures while remaining rooted in their communities and contributing to their resilience. The Youth Skills Roadshow & Exhibition builds on this work by creating a shared space where skills are seen, understood, and valued. In this way, it becomes more than a showcase—it is a collective moment where learning, opportunity, and partnership come together to shape locally driven solutions for the future. Come learn, support, collaborate, and invest in the potential of Indigenous youth driving change from within their communities #indigenouspeople #climateaction #youthempowernment
