They dont have a adress or home page it is a CBO organization. A CBO (Community‑Based Organization) in Kenya is a grassroots, locally rooted organisation formed by community members to address local social, economic or environmental needs. Chui Mamas Foundation works to empower women and promote coexistence between people and wildlife in northern Kenya. The group, founded and led by Ellie Modesta, brings together women from local pastoralist communities to strengthen incomes (e.g., tailoring, soap-making, beekeeping), improve food security, and build local capacity for land stewardship and conflict prevention. Through practical measures—such as restoring grazing areas, constructing water reservoirs, reinforcing bomas, and installing lights to deter predators—Chui Mamas reduce livestock losses, increase tolerance for predators, and create new local jobs. The organisation’s vision is to put women at the forefront of sustainable landscape management and social change; its mission is to combine women’s traditional knowledge with training, infrastructure, and local enterprise projects so that both communities and biodiversity can thrive.
