Advisory Board

Guided by the Wisdom of the Ogiek Elders

The Advisory Board grounds this initiative in ancestral knowledge, ensuring our efforts reflect the cultural values, traditions, and environmental guardianship of the Ogiek people. Their leadership strengthens every aspect of our work, from storytelling to forest stewardship, connecting past, present, and future through Indigenous wisdom.

Guided by ancestral wisdom, the Council of Elders provides cultural oversight, ensuring that our initiatives align with Ogiek values and traditions.
