The association’s efforts align with broader principles found in regional women’s environmental justice movements, including those documented in GAGGA’s global work. Like many grassroots women’s groups, Amani de Kolokoto places women at the centre of environmental solutions, recognising that women carry much of the burden of water collection, household care and community health. Their work demonstrates how women’s leadership can transform environmental governance, strengthen resilience and build community dignity. Beyond waste collection, the association teaches families about hygiene, disease prevention and the health dangers of burning waste, polluted water and contaminated living spaces. Members raise awareness about the links between environmental degradation, children’s health, women’s labour and long-term community wellbeing. Their advocacy has improved public understanding of environmental stewardship as both a health responsibility and a community obligation. Association Amani de Kolokoto also promotes women’s participation in decision making processes related to land use, water protection and management of shared resources. Through their organising, women gain confidence, visibility and collective strength to address issues that traditionally excluded them from public leadership. Their work has strengthened environmental consciousness in Kolokoto and surrounding villages. It has inspired youth participation, reduced local pollution, improved water quality and revitalised community solidarity around the protection of shared natural resources.
