From 19 to 31 August, our team is conducting a nine day training with 272 women from Kibera and Mathare in Nairobi, as part of ongoing research exploring the intersection of climate change and women’s wellbeing.

The training introduces participants to a mobile based health and wellbeing intervention, contributing to broader efforts to develop accessible, technology enabled approaches to support women and strengthen wellbeing in communities experiencing climate related vulnerabilities.

We are grateful to the women participating, our partners and everyone contributing their time, expertise and lived experience to this important work.
