The Safety and Wellbeing for Women in Fisheries (SWWF) project is progressing well following a successful baseline survey with BMU members in Lunga Lunga, Kwale County.

Today, interviews for women applicants to serve as GBV Champions were successfully conducted, resulting in the selection of 30 participants. They will undergo a 10-day Trauma-Informed Community Empowerment (TICE) training.

This marks an important step in advancing the safety and wellbeing of women in fisheries.

A*O First Annual Iftar

Akilimali Associate Org (A*O) warmly invites you to the A*O First Annual Iftar, a historic gathering marking the first official Ramadan Iftar organized by our organization.

This special evening will bring together community members, partners, and friends to break the fast, share a meal, and strengthen bonds of unity and fellowship during the blessed month of Ramadan.

As our first Iftar event, we hope this gathering becomes a lasting yearly tradition, creating meaningful connections and inspiring collective efforts to uplift and restore hope within our community.

📅 Date: Saturday, 14th March 2026
🕔 Time: From 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Likoni

Join us as we come together to break our fast, dine, and celebrate the spirit of Ramadan in unity and gratitude.

We look forward to sharing this blessed moment with you. 🌙

Happy International Women’s Day! 🌸

Today we celebrate the strength, compassion, and impact of women everywhere.

Theme: Give to Gain — when women uplift others, communities grow stronger.

Ramadan Kareem!
May this holy month fill your heart with peace, your home with blessings, and your life with renewed hope. May your prayers be accepted and your good deeds rewarded.

Happy 2026 🎇🎆

As we conclude the year, Akilimali Associate Org. (A*O) extends its sincere appreciation for being selected as an implementing partner for the Safety and Wellbeing for Women in Fisheries (SWWF) Project in Lunga Lunga Sub-County, Kwale County.

We are grateful to the project donor, IUCN , in partnership with Norad, for the trust, strategic support, and investment in advancing the safety, dignity, and wellbeing of women in the fisheries sector. This support has enabled meaningful progress during the first quarter of implementation.

We also acknowledge the strong collaboration with our implementing partners, Global Trauma Project (GTP) and Grassroots Women Right Center (GWRC), whose commitment and teamwork have been instrumental in delivering early project outcomes.

We look forward to continued partnership and sustained impact in the year ahead.

As we conclude this year’s implementation of the Jamii Safe Space Circle (JasaC) Program, we reflect on a project that was designed to promote mental well-being, empower youth with livelihood skills, and nurture them as valuable resources within their communities.

The program has positively impacted young people who, in one way or another, will contribute meaningfully to society.

These achievements were made possible through the generous support of our partners and Mary Hoch Center for Reconciliation , led by Antti, Mohammed, and Mike. Your commitment and partnership played a vital role in the successful delivery of the program and the transformation witnessed among our beneficiaries.

On behalf of the beneficiaries and the wider community, we extend our sincere gratitude.

We look forward to more opportunities, continued partnership, and working together again in 2027 to create even greater impact.

💙💙🧡

This year, through the Thriving Through Play (TTP) Project, we focused on creating safe spaces for children to build resilience, emotional well-being, and positive connections through play. The project reached over 500 students across different schools, leaving a lasting impact within their schools and communities.

This was made possible by the generous support of our partners, especially the Global Fund for Children (GFC). Your support was critical in helping us achieve these milestones.

On behalf of the beneficiaries and the wider community, we sincerely thank you. We look forward to building on this impact and doing even more together in 2027 and beyond.
