Faith, Trees, and Shared Prosperity

In coastal Kenya, Sister Miswale Zingizi unites faith, enterprise, and environmental stewardship to reshape local economies. Through Kaya Nut and the Mkorosho Initiative, she supports women processors and farmers while advocating for cashew tree conservation and climate-resilient agriculture. Grounded in Islamic principles of Amanah, stewardship, and trust, her leadership challenges systems that separate profit from purpose. By strengthening value chains, restoring trees, and expanding fair access, she builds prosperity that circulates within communities. Her work demonstrates that climate resilience is not only ecological but economic and moral, proving that ethical enterprise can restore dignity while protecting land for future generations.
