Join Caroline Kwamboka N., Trustee and Director of African Renaissance (AR) Trust, leads a powerful Capacity Building Session on Gender, Equality, Youth, and Social Inclusion (GEYSI) mainstreaming in WASH! 💙🌍
Because every facility built and every budget passed declares who belongs in Africa's future — and who doesn't.
Caroline will be equipping us with practical tools to:
✅ Diagnose exclusion in WASH systems
✅ Reform policy with a gender & inclusion lens
✅ Enforce accountability at every level

Africa cannot achieve Agenda 2063 while millions remain invisible. It's time to change that. 🙌

This session is for YOU — whether you're a policymaker, engineer, CSO leader, or advocate. No one sits on the sidelines! 🗣️💪

Let's build an Africa where no one is left behind in WASH. 💧

🌍💙 Sanitation is not a privilege, it is a fundamental human right.

And it's time Africa's legal and policy frameworks reflect exactly that.
We are honored to welcome Hon. Commissioner Janet Ramatoulie Sallah-Njie, Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Women in Africa, to our GIMAC Pre Online Consultative Meeting!

She will be presenting on a landmark resolution — the development of Guidelines on the Right to Sanitation in Africa, with a dedicated focus on women and girls. 🙌

This is a critical step toward ensuring that the dignity, equality, and inclusion of women and girls are not just aspirations — but protected rights.

She will also be opening the floor to receive feedback from participants on the process — because this work belongs to ALL of us. Your voice matters! 🗣️

Let's build an Africa where every woman and girl has access to safe sanitation — without exception. 💧✊

Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and dignity of African mothers, the women who carry not only their children, but also the hopes, health, and future of our communities. ❤️

Across Africa, millions of women continue to bear the daily burden of securing water and sanitation for their families. Their labor, care, and sacrifices sustain homes, communities, and nations.

This Mother’s Day, African Renaissance honors every mother and caregiver working tirelessly for a safer, healthier, and more dignified future for the next generation.

Because access to clean water and safe sanitation is not a privilege, it is a right for every woman, every mother, and every child.

Happy Mother’s Day to African women everywhere. 🌍✨

From Invisibility to Accountability: What Happened at the Forum on the Participation of NGOs in the 87th Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights ( ) in Banjul 🇬🇲

During the Forum on the Participation of NGOs in the 87th Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, African Renaissance Trust convened a landmark side event reframing Africa’s sanitation crisis, not as an infrastructure gap, but as a human rights emergency.

Key facts:
• 💧 779M+ Africans lack safely managed sanitation, only 27% access vs. 58% globally
• 🚺 Women and girls bear the heaviest cost: GBV exposure, lost education, health risks
• 🔨 The real failure is exclusion by design, facilities built without ramps, lighting, privacy, or menstrual hygiene provisions

At the event, African Renaissance Trust launched the GEYSI Capacity Strengthening Handbook, a continental framework co-developed with APHRC, AMCOW, IHRDA, Ipas Africa Alliance, and the AU Commission, validated by all 55 AU Member States.

Three clear phases:
✅ Diagnose — identify who is excluded
✅ Commit — turn data into gender-responsive policy
✅ Deliver — enforce accountability through budgets and scorecards

With AU 2026 declared the Year of Sustainable Water & Sanitation, and ACHPR Resolution 658 creating a binding justiciable pathway, the window is open.

The GEYSI Handbook is the tool to walk through it.
