It’s official! The launch of A Poisoned Ecosystem is underway. We’re unpacking the silent health emergency threatening Migori County—from poisoned rivers to gender inequality in mining. #MigoriMercuryCrisis

Migori’s artisanal gold mining is a billion-shilling industry—but it comes at a toxic cost. Mercury contamination is turning livelihoods into death sentences. #MigoriMercuryCrisis

Dr. Ing. Nashon Juma Adero: The best time action was supposed to be taken is yesterday. Community health workers in Migori county need to be empowered so that they can identify symptoms from mercury exposure. #MigoriMercuryCrisis

Migori County has got some of the largest deposits of gold in the country. Artisanal gold miners do not have a geospatial map on where these deposits are: Eddy Oketch, Senator- Migori County #MigoriMercuryCrisis

Did you know? 38% of Migori’s artisanal miners are women, but they earn only 11% of the sector’s income. They handle mercury with bare hands, yet get paid the least. #MigoriMercuryCrisis

The Poisoned Ecosystem report reveals 49% of miners use mercury daily, but only 1.4% wear gloves. Most PPE is either unavailable or inconvenient. One miner said, “It only hurts when you have bruises.” #MigoriMercuryCrisis
