The Kebetkache Women Development and Resource Center is a grassroots organization founded in 2003 working in Nigeria and the West Africa subregion to promote women’s rights and environmental justice through education, advocacy, and community action. Kebetkache works to support, center, and mobilize women in the region, to speak out against violence and injustice specifically in the highly militarized Niger Delta. Additionally, Kebetkache conducts research, outreach, and awareness raising in order to further promote their mission. 

In collaboration with the MBI, Kebethache has created the project Building Women’s Resilience Through Trauma Healing. The project aims to promote holistic health through trauma healing processes in three areas that have endured violence and conflict in the last five years. The project will build upon the risk and safety assessment that Kebetkache piloted in three local government areas in 2020. The funds will go to the trauma healing sessions of 40 women which will be held in a resort area and include counseling and storytelling sessions to heal shared trauma as well as various social, mental, emotional and physical health treatments.
