Achievements

After 56 years of waiting, women of the Boni and Bajuni minority group who live in Lamu County have finally received title deeds for their land. In June, the Lamu County government issued a total of 78 title deeds to residents of ten villages in the region, out of which 24 went to the Boni and Bajuni women often the most discriminated and ignored. There was joy and celebrations at Mokowe shortly after the Boni and Bajuni women received the land documents for the first time in history.

“This is the first time that we members of the Boni and Bajuni minority women are getting hold of a title deed. Some of us were just hearing of a title deed but we didn’t actually know what it is. We thank WBB for engage the county and national governments in ensuring we get the land documents. We are proud that now we have the right to own land after 56 years of independence,” said Mrs Amina Gubo- One of the beneficiaries the project.
