Daughters of Mumbi Global Resource Centre was founded in 2004 and registered under Kenyan Law in 2006. The organization has the following objectives : connecting to the environment and including human beings as a species worth saving, building caring communities and relationships at all levels from the family level, Honoring the woman's role in anchoring the family and community and recognize dignity in the works of our hands.
They have several projects regarding their mission above. The first includes Woman's Lands Rights.
The women in rural areas are in the agricultural labor force and get up to 60% of all food produced in Kenya. Despite this, they own lands only through sharing land rights with their partners or inheriting land from their parents or guardians. Both parties should be involved in selling assets, ensuring the off-springs have an inheritance .
Another activity is promoting the Indigenous and Traditional Seeds Project. It was began to overcome the lack of food security. It encourages communities to embrace indigenous and traditional foods such as cassava, arrow roots, sweet potatoes, and yams.It is also an initiative for healthy living away from the junk food that comes with their health problems. They also teach how to create compost manure and use all spaces for farming.
They also carry out mentor-ship activities for the families around them and their children. They mentor children between the ages of 6-10, 11-14, 15-20 with an objective of culture to be upheld by the young generation. They enrich the young children with values and morals necessary for them to go through life away from the negative influences that have increased in the recent ages.
Capacity Building is also one of their activities. They create networks with organizations with common goals to ensure that they reach a scope of women and their families. They also do this to avoid repetition of activities within the same region.
The model organization is one that carries a lot of potential and fights for the women.
