Climate Justice: Practical Responses - a view from the front line

Climate Justice – practical responses – a view from the front line.

Tuesday 12^th May 7pm at The Greenhouse, Malthouse Lane Cheltenham, GL50 4EY

Join us for a conversation between Benter Ndeda from the Aniga Women’s Community Based Organisation in Kenya, and Alison Crane of Global Footsteps. (Benter will join us via a live Zoom link on the big screen).

Hear more about a project supporting women farmers on the shores of Lake Victoria near Kisumu. This community lives hand to mouth and is increasingly having to adapt to severe and unpredictable weather. They are growing sweet potatoes co-operatively – a crop which is drought tolerant, as well as being nutritious, and enables them to be more resilient to climate, health and economic challenges. Global Footsteps has supported them financially, providing finance for training and equipment.

Benter is a community leader, a champion of women and girls, and has experience in local politics. In collaboration with Global Footsteps and Leicestershire Climate Action, she took part in an international online conference in 2021 sharing her community’s direct experiences of climate change.
