FoLT's Vision is: Well informed Lake Turkana Basin communities who have control over their natural resources and their use for economically and environmentally sustainable development.
- FoLT's operations are guided by values that uphold our integrity and independence and the independence of communities. As such;

- FoLT has no political or religious affiliations and is entirely independent.
