Delugees Environment Organization (DEO) is a community-rooted initiative in Kenya, dedicated to equipping the next generation with the knowledge, skills, and action needed to fight climate change.
Our journey began in 2022, when our Founder, Shem Mutulu, coined the word “Delugees” – derived from English word “DELUGE,” meaning floods – to describe people displaced or disadvantaged by extreme weather like floods or simply “climate refugees”.
This award-winning entry in AimHi Earth’s (Future Dictionary Competition – UK, 2022) became more than just a word. It became an inspiration and a movement.
