Why It Matters.
For the Turkana people, land is not just an economic asset , it’s a source of identity, spirituality, and resilience.
As development projects, extractive industries, and climate pressures intensify, protecting Indigenous land rights has become more urgent than ever.
TIPD ensures communities are not left behind in decisions about the land they call home.
Together, we can make change
