Listeningand Co-creation -We start by listening to communities’ stories, cultures, challenges,opportunities, adaptations, and more. Through listening and discussion, weco-create programs finding progressive ways to address Kenya’s most pressingissues.

SafeSpaces and values clarification - We create safe spaces for people to openly share theirviews, values, challenges and experiences without judgment or repercussions. Inthese spaces, we also clarify values that we individually or collectively haveabout certain issues or ideas. By clarifying values, we establish areas wherewe connect and where we need to find mutual understanding.

Facilitationand Training of trainers -We are facilitators supporting communities to organize themselves, find localsolutions to challenges, advocate for change and protect one another. We havedeveloped several tools to support conversations and learning in workshops. Weprovide these materials to local trainers and facilitators to share withintheir communities after they are trained on how to use them.
