The Kasigau Corridor REDD+ Project in Kenya, led by Wildlife Works, protects forests and wildlife while creating sustainable jobs that replace poaching, subsistence farming, and illegal logging. Through community governance, carbon credit revenues fund local priorities such as schools, water systems, and health services, directly benefiting women and families. Under the W+ Standard, women experienced a 41% increase in time savings through improved water access, a 12.5% rise in income and assets from handicraft and livelihood programs, a 93% increase in knowledge and education on sustainable practices, and a 16% improvement in health through reproductive health services—impacting tens of thousands of women across the region.
