ABOUT US
Women’s Climate Centers International (WCCI) – Kenya is a specialized Research and Learning (L&E) organization dedicated to disrupting traditional power dynamics in climate and health discourse. Founded by a global collective of women development professionals, the Kenya Chapter operates as a strategic engine for Citizen Science, ensuring that grassroots women are the primary owners and producers of the data that informs their future.
While WCCI globally focuses on building physical climate hubs, our Kenya Chapter serves as the technical "brain" for community-led innovation. We bridge the gap between traditional indigenous wisdom and formal evidence-based science, moving the focus from "service delivery" to Knowledge Production.
OUR MISSION
While WCCI globally builds climate hubs, the Kenya Chapter ensures that grassroots women are the primary owners and producers of data. By bridging the gap between traditional wisdom and formal science, we ensure that frontline communities drive the policies that affect their lives
A women led organization in Kenya working across the counties of Kenya in changing the lives of women. WWANC was started in 2011 to bring change in the society by empowering women socially, economically and politically while mitigating effects of climate change
Founded by women development professionals across East Africa and the US, WCCI co-creates hubs for sustainable climate solutions rooted in the lived experience of frontline communities. In Kenya, where cultural norms often exclude women from formal scientific discourse, this project disrupts traditional power dynamics by introducing a Citizen Science framework.
While WCCI globally builds climate hubs, the Kenya Chapter operates as a specialized Research and Learning (L&E) organization. Our purpose is to ensure that grassroots women are the primary owners and producers of the data that informs climate and health policy, bridging the gap between traditional indigenous wisdom and formal evidence-based science.
Driving Policy Through Data Our ultimate goal is an equitable research ecosystem where women-led data drives regional and national policy. By integrating our findings into County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) and national climate frameworks, we align our grassroots evidence with UN Sustainable Development Goals 6, 8, and 13.
Through our "Community Conversations" and peer-review mechanisms, we ensure that every piece of data remains grounded in lived experience, empowering elders, midwives, and climate champions to co-create Community Action Plans that work.
