Kaya Kinondo Conservation and Development (KKCDG) was formed in 2001 to protect and conserve Kaya Kinondo sacred forest. The org runs an Kaya Kinondo Ecotourism project, a community initiative that links biodiversity conservation with tangible social and economic benefits to community members. In 2003, a village bank, Kaya Kinondo Financial Services (micro-finance) was developed that enables community members to access savings and credits services.
