About the Web Site |
|
This CommunityConservation Initiative (CCI-Kenya) website is here especially to help provide a link & much-needed voice for indigeneous community-led groups & organisations involved in biodiversity conservation, sustainable resource management & community development, particularly in Kenya.
Many of these groups are in remote, isolated areas of the country with little opportunity of direct contact with other like-minded community groups or supporting organisations. It is hoped that this website may therefore help to overcome this problem by providing them an important link to each other & to the ‘outside world’.
The website is an important & integral extension of the practical ‘in-the-field’ project facilitation & outreach support which CCI-Kenya has also provided.
Whatever your interest, please stay for a while to explore the web-site —visit the Maps & Locations, Community Projects & Photo Gallery pages, for example, to see what the community-led groups are doing in their own local areas—find out about their achievements, needs & challenges, learn more about them & their environment , their local cultural & natural heritage. If you would like to assist in some way, please see the How You Can Help pages.
Additional information, including updates and photo’s from CCI-Kenya’s latest field visits in Kenya, can be found at ‘Postcards from Kenya’. This is a useful blog extension to the website which enables everyone to stay informed and up-to-date during field-based activities.
With the help of yourselves as visitors & users of the web-site, we hope to keep the web-site interesting & up-dated with what the community-led groups in the CCI-Kenya programme are up to, as well as sharing useful information, advice, links & photo’s.
Why not write a note to our Letters Page or youth and community group forum at ‘Sema Kenya’ & let us know what your own community-group is doing, or if you are a national organisation or agency in Kenya, let us know how you might be able to assist…
If you have an interest or experience in hay-box or cooking basket technology then please visit our ‘Cooking in a Basket’ website where you will find useful recipes, cooking times, instructions on how to make a hay-box and cooking basket,as well as how these may be of help to you and to communities living in places like Africa where there is a shortage of cooking fuel and water.
Community-led groups—do you have any good advice based on the success of your own community-group project, or how to avoid making some big mistakes along the way...???
If you are in an established community-based sustainable resource management group somewhere else in Africa, or from even further afield, then please also feel very welcome to share your experiences with us...
Please contact us. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
