MIKIA KENYA

My Indigenous Knowledge In Action (MIKIA) is an Indigenous-led organization in Kenya that is working with and for Indigenous Peoples. The term “MIKIA” comes from the Indigenous Maa language, meaning “don't take me away,” highlighting the importance of protecting Indigenous Knowledge for future generations and reminding knowledge holders to pass it down. We believe that Indigenous Knowledge is a living resource with the power to help build resilient futures. MIKIA partners with Indigenous communities, like-minded Indigenous organizations, and policy actors across different regions.
