Building Resilient Communities with Tulia Africa Initiative


Across Kenya, farmers and households face shrinking harvests, unpredictable rainfall, and soils that struggle to sustain life. Women and youth search for new opportunities in landscapes that demand both resilience and innovation.
  Amid these challenges lies a powerful possibility: communities have the knowledge, energy, and determination to create solutions that regenerate their land, secure food, and strengthen livelihoods.

That is where Tulia Africa Initiative comes in.

 Our Story

   “Tulia” is a Kiswahili word that means to calm, to rest, to restore peace.
 Our name reflects our vision: to restore dignity, nurture ecosystems, and create lasting hope — one farm, one household, and one community at a time.
  Tulia is a youth-led, community-based movement working with smallholder farmers, women, and young people. We champion regenerative practices that protect soil, build resilience, enhance food security, and create new livelihood opportunities.

 Why We Exist;-

   Communities are ready for solutions that not only heal the land but also improve daily life. Farmers want better yields, women want opportunities, and young people want to lead in shaping a greener future.

   At Tulia, we create spaces where these aspirations meet practical, sustainable action. By combining regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, and livelihood innovation, we are turning challenges into pathways for transformation.

Our Vision

Thriving communities where land is productive, food is secure, and households live in dignity ; sustained by practices that regenerate both people and the planet.

Our Mission

To empower communities across Kenya to adopt regenerative practices that restore soils, strengthen livelihoods, and build resilience against climate change.

Our mission reflects a conviction that true sustainability must be inclusive, transparent, and rooted in local realities.

 Our Focus
Regenerative Agriculture – promoting soil health, climate-smart farming, and food security.
Agroforestry & Landscape Renewal – integrating trees and biodiversity into farms and communities.
Youth & Women Empowerment – building local champions for change and creating green livelihood pathways.
Economic Incentives for Change – ensuring conservation also translates into income and opportunity.
Community Land Governance & Data – strengthening ownership and knowledge for better decision-making.

How Community-Led Restoration is Transforming Kenya’s Drylands: The Tulia Approach

        Across Kenya’s arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs), a quiet transformation is taking root—one led not by outside experts, but by local communities themselves as stakeholders and led by vibrant youths.    At Tulia Africa Initiative , we believe in the power of the people most affected by climate change to lead the way in restoring the very landscapes they call home. From Makueni, Machakos to Kitui , we’re witnessing firsthand how community-driven action is not just healing the land—but also restoring hope. But first do we understand the challenges? Lets explore some here: Challenge in Kenya’s Drylands    Kenya’s drylands cover over 80% of the country and are home to millions who depend on natural resources for survival. But years of deforestation, overgrazing, and climate shocks have left these landscapes deeply degraded.   Too often, restoration projects are implemented without meaningful involvement of the people who live on and kn...

Africa Climate Summit 2: Why Locally Led Action Must Take Center Stage

                 When it comes to climate action in Africa, the most powerful solutions often grow from the ground up. Next month, Ethiopia will host the Africa Climate Summit 2 , a pivotal moment for the continent to shape its climate resilience agenda. Leaders, policy makers, and climate actors will gather to push forward commitments made in the inaugural summit — but for communities on the frontlines of climate change, this is more than just another high-level meeting. At Tulia Africa Initiative , we see this summit as a chance to amplify the voices of those most affected by climate shocks — smallholder farmers in drylands, youth-led organizations, and grassroots innovators who are already driving change. Our work in promoting climate-smart agriculture, landscape restoration, and community resilience mirrors the summit’s core call: climate action must be locally driven, inclusive, and backed by sustainable financing. We expect ACS2 to ...
