Friends of Lake Turkana (FoLT)
FoLT was formed to protest the construction of the Gibe III dam in southern Ethiopia, which is perceived to be a potential catastrophe for Lake Turkana and its people and likely to intensify conflict in the region. The organization's work has since broadened to champion local people's rights, undertake peace initiatives and implement homegrown solutions to both environmental and man-made concerns within the region.
