Walk With Us to Brazil-COP30: Support SASAL 10

We are not walking to Brazil just to attend COP30. We’re walking to be heard, in our language, from our realities, with our solutions.

We are the SASAL 10, a group of ten young indigenous climate leaders from the drylands of Kenya. We come from pastoralist communities that are often hit first and worst by climate change, yet we’re still the last to be invited into global climate spaces.

We are launching a campaign we call:

SASAL 10: We’re Walking to Brazil.

Our journey begins in our Enkang’ -a modern Maasai village that we built ourselves. It is a living demonstration of indigenous-led climate solutions:

✅ Solar-powered homes

✅ Ecosystem restoration

✅ Climate-resilient housing that honors our culture

✅ Water harvesting systems

✅ Women-led enterprises

✅ And storytelling through indigenous song and art.

These are not just stories, they are proven models that work for our communities. But they’re missing from global policy conversations. They belong on the main stages of COP30.

We want to go to Brazil.

But we don’t just want to be in the room, we want to be meaningfully engaged.

We want:

To speak at high-level events where decisions are made

To showcase the real solutions we live with every day

To be represented in ways that are accessible to us, in our indigenous language, through our music, stories, and experience

To bring the voices of our people, our elders, and our youth into the global climate conversation

But the journey to COP30 is long and unjust.

We face visa barriers, travel costs, and systems that often exclude grassroots and indigenous leaders like us. That’s why we’ve chosen to symbolically walk to COP30, across villages, forests, and drylands in Kenya, sharing our stories, resting under trees, and camping in nature as we gather community messages and make our way to the global stage.

We need your support to make this walk real, and get us to Belém.

Your donation will help us:

Fund travel, visa, and accommodation costs for 10 delegates

Equip us with camping gear and tools for the symbolic walk

Document our journey and amplify our voices through video, music, and social media

Ensure we are represented in a way that honors our identity, not erases it

This is more than a fundraiser. It is a movement for equity, justice, and recognition.

When you support SASAL 10, you are not just funding a trip, you are helping change who gets to influence global climate decisions.

So walk with us.

Support SASAL 10.

Let the world hear climate solutions, spoken in the voices that know them best.
