Strong Unity for Refugee Empowerment (SURE) is a refugee-led community-rooted organisation leading environmental action in Kakuma Refugee Camp (Kenya) with women and children at the centre of climate solutions.
Their work responds to the harsh realities of climate change environmental degradation and resource scarcity that disproportionately affect women and children in displacement. Through women-led regenerative agriculture, solar-powered farming biogas systems and green enterprises, they enable mothers and young women to secure food produce income reduce deforestation and protect natural resources while gaining dignity, leadership and economic independence.
Their clean energy initiatives drastically reduce reliance on firewood and charcoal easing the physical burden and protection risks faced by women and girls, improving indoor air quality and safeguarding children’s health from smoke-related illnesses.
Empowering communities through biogas
Children and youth are empowered as environmental stewards through tree planting, climate education, clean energy powered learning spaces and youth-led rainwater harvesting systems that provide safe water, reduce disease and build lifelong values of conservation.
Their programs create safer greener environments where children can learn, play and grow while women become drivers of sustainable change.
By integrating climate resilience, environmental conservation, clean water, renewable energy and green livelihoods, SURE delivers measurable environmental and social impact, reducing emissions, restoring ecosystems, strengthening food security and breaking cycles of dependency.
Donor investment in SURE directly supports scalable women- and child-centred environmental solutions that protect lives, heal communities, and build a resilient climate-just future for refugees and host populations alike.
