Communities across the Greater Turkana Basin rely on Lake Turkana for food, water, culture, and livelihoods. For pastoralists and fishing communities, the lake and surrounding lands are not just resources—they are the foundation of everyday life.
As the world’s largest permanent desert lake, Lake Turkana is also a critical ecological system. Today, both the lake and the communities that depend on it face growing threats from climate change, pollution, land dispossession, and extractive development.
We work alongside Indigenous communities to protect land and water, defend rights, and ensure decisions about the basin are made with communities—not without them.
