Indigenous People's Rights
“Indigenous peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development”
- Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, U.N. Doc. E/CN.4/Sub.2/1994/2/Add.1 (1994).
ENAI Africa focuses on promoting and protecting the rights of indigenous people in Kajiado County. The organization recognizes the unique cultural, historical, and social identities of indigenous people and the importance of preserving their way of life. ENAI Africa is committed to empowering indigenous communities by promoting their participation in decision-making processes, advocating for their land and resource rights, and providing education and capacity building opportunities.
ENAI Africa recognizes the importance of preserving indigenous unique way of living. We work to promote cultural heritage preservation by supporting traditional knowledge transfer and exchange, providing education and training on cultural practices, and advocating for the recognition of indigenous cultural rights. Addressing the social and economic challenges facing indigenous communities in Kajiado County is our concern too. Many indigenous communities face poverty, limited access to education and healthcare, and discrimination. We work to address these challenges by providing education and capacity building opportunities, supporting community-led development initiatives, and advocating for policies that promote social inclusion and equality. The organization also works to raise awareness about the issues facing indigenous communities and to build partnerships with other organizations and stakeholders to promote sustainable development and human rights in Kajiado County. Through its work, ENAI Africa is making a significant contribution to advancing indigenous people’s rights and promoting sustainable development in Kenya.
