👉🏾 One of our seven 2025 Kenya Resilience Circles, led by the changemakers who have been through our 2025 Resilience Residential.

Our Resilience Circles are peer-support spaces where young changemakers can process difficult climate emotions, connect with others, and build communities of care. Over 8–10 weeks, you’ll go on a shared learning journey. Meeting weekly in-person to explore resilience, well-being, and sustainable activism – developing tools so that you can keep showing up for people and planet.

Based in Kakuma and welcoming youth from both Kakuma and Kalobeyei, the Turkana Resilience Circle invites 18–25-year-olds passionate about climate action to connect, learn, and grow together in a supportive, purpose-driven community.

Please note, joining a circle includes a commitment to join and stay within the programme throughout the 8-10 week duration. During the onboarding and welcome session, you’ll agree on the meeting times that work best for everyone.
