Olorukoti Resource and Knowledge Centre
Olorukoti knowledge and resource center is an initiative of Indigenous Information Network started in 2011. This came about during the series of training workshop on Promoting Climate Change adaptation for Natural resource dependent Communities in Narok on best practices in energy and livestock. Those attending the training wanted to have a permanent home that could help them follow up and have sustainable activities planned and recommended by the meeting and registered as a community based organization in 2020 to enable it be more visible and accessible to many in the community. Olorukoti is also a knowledge center that different communities can to learn and rediscover their old traditional knowledge on conservation of Biodiversity, adaptation, mitigation strategies food security that include production, storage. This center is also hoping to have additional activities on language. The center has been promoting development for indigenous women and girls
