Grassroots Organizations Operating Together in Sisterhood (GROOTS) Kenya was founded in 1995, after the fourth UN Conference on Women in Beijing, China. With an aim of addressing the lack of visibility of grassroots women in development processes and decision-making forums that affect them and their communities.
Across the country, grassroots women from Baringo, Kilifi, Nakuru, Kakamega, Kiambu, Tana River, Laikipia, Kitui, Nairobi, Busia, Nyandarua, and Murang’a took the lead in organizing and hosting sub-county, county, and national celebrations marking GROOTS Kenya’s 30th anniversary. These events showcased decades of resilience, leadership, and advocacy for gender equality, economic empowerment, and social justice—demonstrating the power of women-led movements in shaping communities and driving change.
Grassroots women take center stage in leading the Beijing+30 and GROOTS Kenya At 30 celebrations. The events honor grassroots champions, celebrating decades of achievements, and a reaffirmed collective commitment to advancing grassroots women’s leadership and rights.
