Women, Guardians of the Rangelands
Around 50,000 hectares of land at risk of desertification are being restored thanks to the commitment of the Rangeland Guardians: 420 Maasai women trained to remove invasive species, rehabilitate pastures, and restore soil fertility. Alongside them, 70 young people learn to monitor ecosystem health using digital tools, collecting data for more sustainable land management.
Women and herders are also gaining new economic skills through marketplace literacy courses, which help them manage livestock and natural resources more effectively — linking environmental protection with financial independence.

Clean Energy for a New Form of Independence
Resilience also comes from innovation. In collaboration with local and international partners, the project supports the national agency RUWASA in its accreditation process with the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and in establishing a technical unit for the management of sustainable water projects.
At the local level, five multifunctional solar plants are replacing diesel pumps - a small revolution that brings clean energy and safe drinking water to more than 8,000 people while powering small-scale businesses. To fight deforestation, 5,000 families have received energy-efficient stoves distributed by a network of 30 local ambassadors: a simple yet powerful action that improves health, reduces emissions, and creates new economic opportunities.

Resilient Education and Institutions
Resilience is also built through knowledge and participation. RESTORE trains 328 local representatives on climate risk and sustainable ecosystem management, while 72 teachers and 18,000 students take part in environmental education and global citizenship programmes. An investment in the next generation, helping them understand that sustainable resource management is the key to their future.
