The Indigenous Information Network (IIN) works on development issues that affect and impact Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Our main focus is on women, girls, children, youth, and other vulnerable members of our communities. IIN recognizes that the conservation and protection of our environment are key, as the environment plays a vital role in our lives since we depend on it for our survival. IIN is a non-profit, volunteer-run non-governmental organization (NGO) registered in the Republic of Kenya. The organization was founded in 1996 by a group of professionals to address the need for information through media and other channels about Indigenous Peoples, their livelihoods, and the challenges they face in their struggle to exist. IIN has been involved in the dissemination of information, environmental conservation activities, community development, and advocacy in support of Indigenous Peoples, women, children, youth, and other isolated minorities in the region.
