Our organization found the need to engage different communities in the County of Lamu including the Orma, Sanye, Aweer, and the Swahili who claim Lamu as their ancestral homes to bring together histories, cultural practices and traditional knowledge and methods of doing things which is considered as the heritage of Lamu.

The BCP document sets out traditional mechanisms for decision-making and sustainable use of Lamu’s national resources. The document will also allow the communities to raise collective concerns over consultation, participation, and impacts of development projects such as LAPSSET, oil and gas exploration and the proposed coal power plant, which is currently facing opposition from a large number of residence in Lamu County and out of Lamu, due to potential environmental, economic social and health impacts.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” bottom_padding=”8%” disable_element=”yes” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_gallery type=”flickity_static_height_style” images=”7349,7350,7351,7352,7353,7354,7355,7356,7357,7358,7359,7360″ flickity_spacing=”10px” flickity_controls=”next_prev_arrows_overlaid” flickity_overflow=”hidden” flickity_wrap_around=”no-wrap” flickity_box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”lazy-load” onclick=”link_no” flickity_img_height=”500″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” bg_image=”7320″ bg_position=”center center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_color=”#1e1e1e” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”5%” color_overlay=”#242838″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_position=”left-right” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”2/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_custom_heading text=”Get Involved” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][vc_column_text]
