IIE-KENYA

Initiative for Inclusive Empowerment (IIE) is a locally rooted organization committed to catalyzing a powerful and rapidly growing community of grassroots women and girls to engage and improve their quality of life and that of their communities... Our mission is to empower grassroots women and girls to collectively engage the public and political spheres, starting with women's practical economic needs and social norms at the village level, and building up to national agendas. We do this in pursuit of women's rights; inclusive, accountable, and responsive governance, and sustainable development. We leverage technology, religion, culture, and political connections, to raise the voices of women across generations and across the country for maximized impact on these issues. We are working in Makueni, Kitui, Tharaka Nithi, Isiolo and Machakos Counties. We intend to scale up and replicate this model in other parts of the country in the next 10 years.
