Discover the tangible differences VONIEWY is making in the community.
VONIEWY pursues the following goals, which define our areas of impact and commitment to the Endorois community:
Through programs like "The Silent Voices Speak (Sauti za Kimya Zinasikika-Bunge)," we create forums that empower marginalized Endorois youth and women with civic education, rights awareness, and grassroots engagement.
Our "Documentaries and Oral Histories" initiatives record, archive, and disseminate traditional knowledge, rituals, language, and stories through multimedia documentation to safeguard the Endorois heritage.
Through "Bunge Mashinani," we promote community-based economic models, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship, particularly in rural and marginalized areas, to improve livelihoods.
We provide targeted mentorship, leadership development, and access to opportunities that build agency, participation, and decision-making power among Endorois youth and women.
VONIEWY leads community-driven actions to protect ecosystems, promote sustainable resource use, and build climate adaptation strategies grounded in indigenous knowledge.
