Kwetu Training Centre for Sustainable Development - Kenya (EN)

Established in 1997, the Kwetu Training Centre for Sustainable Development focuses on training unemployed youth, women, and fishermen in conservation and income-generating activities. The organization works with local groups to identify income-generation opportunities, relevant stakeholders, and available technologies to build local capacity.

In 2008, Kwetu won the Equator Prize which is awarded biennially to recognize outstanding community efforts to reduce poverty through the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. This video was created as part of our Biodiversity for Local Livelihoods project.
