My name is Andrew Meitekini Mponin, and I am a passionate advocate for climate resilience and community empowerment, particularly among indigenous pastoralist communities in Kenya. Growing up in Narok County, I witnessed firsthand the challenges posed by climate change, especially in semi-arid regions like the Maasai rangelands. This inspired my work with the Standard Eco Watch initiative, where I help indigenous women become leaders in climate adaptation by training them in sustainable practices like rainwater harvesting and land restoration.
In addition to my environmental advocacy, I have worked as a UN volunteer, promoting vaccination campaigns, digital skills training, and youth engagement in marginalized communities. My focus on grassroots action and leadership development aims to create a future where vulnerable communities can thrive despite climate challenges. By blending local knowledge with modern solutions, I believe we can build a more resilient and sustainable tomorrow.
