The richest 1% have captured twice as much wealth as the 99% of the world’s population, between 2020 and 2023. The Finance Bill in Kenya would have ONLY managed to collect 2.68 billion dollars from the average person. While 480 BILLION DOLLARS are lost to tax abuse by billionaires and multinationals (including big oil corporations).
We have everything in Africa to thrive, to create an economy that's fair and prioritises the wellbeing of people and the planet. Yet, millions of people don’t have access to an adequate standard of living, health, food, education, energy, water and social security. Our planet is heating and our ecosystems are collapsing. Why? Because policies that prioritise profit overall, promote exploitation, extraction and pollution.
Governments are obsessed with economic growth and development. This relentless pursuit of growth often masks the deepening inequalities and the erosion of living standards for the majority.
We are pushing for systemic changes at the national and global levels and asking governments to fix the broken and unfair economic system. It's time to challenge the 1% who control the world's wealth and drive the planet to ruin with their greed and pollution.
SIGN THE PETITION TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
African governments:
Put our wellbeing at the top of the agenda.
Make polluters and the ultra-rich pay their fair share in taxes!
The more people taking action, the more impact we'll have.
Our work is 100% funded by people like you, will you support us by giving a regular amount per month?

Stop oil exploration in conkouati-douli national park now!
Home to forest communities for centuries, it faces a threat unlike any other: oil exploration.
Stop Deep Sea Mining
In Africa, where biodiversity flourishes on land and in its surrounding seas, the deep sea is a treasure trove of biodiversity and home to untold wonders and possibilities. It is also one of our best allies against climate change. But a threat is coming: deep sea mining.
Protect Kenya's Indigenous seeds
Support local farmers in Kenya - stop a punitive seed law that makes buying, selling Indigenous seeds illegal.
