Advancing Environmental Justice & Women’s Rights.
We empower community-based advocacy in the mining heartlands of Kono, building a sustainable future through equity and restoration.
Giving a Voice to the
Unseen Challenges.
In the heart of Kono's mining districts, women are often the first to feel the impact of environmental degradation but the last to be heard. WAfEJD was founded in 2018 to change this dynamic.
We operate at the intersection of gender equity and environmental restoration, ensuring that those most impacted by resource extraction lead the conversation on recovery.
