About Us
Initiative for Inclusive Empowerment (IIE) is a locally rooted organization committed to catalyzing a powerful and rapidly growing community of grassroots women and youth to engage and improve their quality of life and that of their communities.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower grassroots women and youth to collectively engage the public and political spheres, starting with women’s practical economic needs and social norms at the village level, and building up to national agendas. We do this in pursuit of women’s rights; inclusive, accountable, and responsive governance, and sustainable development. We leverage technology, religion, culture, and political connections, to raise the voices of women across generations and across the country for maximized impact on these issues. We are working in Marsabit, Mandera, Garissa, Wajir, Makueni, Kitui, Tharaka Nithi, Isiolo and Machakos Counties. We intend to scale up and replicate this model in other parts of the country in the next 10 years.
Our Vision
We envision a society where grassroots women and youth become a powerful influence in how they are governed, contribute meaningfully in the development of their communities and drive social change.
Our Core Values
Diversity: We are an inclusive community of diverse grassroots women both in age and ethnicity. The advantage of our group is the unique approach to embracing inclusivity cross-generationally. We guide and encourage women of different age and generations to engage and flourish in their journey to live their best lives, in all aspects. Solidarity: We strive to learn and work in, for and with our community to achieve desired results. Our community is the reason that our members join the movement; to make our community a better place to live. Our movement is driven by local demands and priorities. Our projects and activities are a major force in shaping our community. Communication: We lead authentically by fostering self-awareness and transparency on needs, plans, and values. Responsibility: We strive to be a force for change by embracing a standard of excellence and promoting responsibility for actions and solutions. Honesty: We act with integrity, e.g., act pursuant to commitments; if such is later deemed impossible, we communicate and act on what is. Respect: We model desired conduct by asking direct, empathetic questions and listening for content and emotion on problems to foster dialogue on solutions.
