Our Work
Signature Programs
At AWEIK, our programs are carefully crafted to empower and elevate women in Kenya’s energy and extractives sectors. We focus on building capacity, advancing advocacy, and supporting business development to ensure women have equal opportunities to thrive within the industry.
Our initiatives (key signature programs) are designed to address the unique challenges women face, promote their leadership, and create pathways for sustainable growth. By bridging gaps in education, access, and resources, we strive to increase women’s participation at all levels of the energy and extractives industry value chains, fostering long-term economic impact and transformation.
