Thematic Areas

Environmental Management and Conservation

We ideate, design and develop policies, programs, and campaigns around environmental management and conservation, through partnership and collaboration with relevant stakeholders, so that individuals and organizations may understand, appreciate and be involved with management and conservation as a way of life for its benefits today and into the future.

Waste Management and Entrepreneurship.

We create models for sustainable waste management, develop and drive policies around waste management and disseminate entrepreneurial skills through which young people may generate income through environmental management and conservation-based enterprises.

Leadership.

Through training and mentorship, we purpose to nurture a generation of young leaders who will be nature stewards and whose ideas and actions will further environmental management and conservation in their communities.

Programs

We run environmental management and conservation projects, in collaboration, partnership, and cooperation with local communities and government institutions.

Greening the mind

Greening the Mind (GTM) nurtures nature stewards in building community resilience to climate change. The program promotes sustainable environmental practices through capacity building in schools and communities. It works to enhance the participation of school-going children and youth in environmental restoration. This is to enhance nutrition security in the working regions while providing them with alternative economic opportunities. With a focus on local communities, GTM provides a platform for environmental advocacy and for farmers to benefit from environmental education and learn values, skills, behaviors and lifestyles that can lead to job creation, improve food security and contribute to environmental sustainability.

Regreening Africa

Managed by World Agroforestry, implemented by its local partners, Regreening Africa aims to reverse land degradation on 1 million hectares across 8 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The program aims to improve livelihoods, food security and climate resilience of local households by restoring ecosystem services, particularly through agroforestry. Our work involves the deliberate and systematic integration of trees, crops and livestock—all critical elements for the sustainable management of land and maintenance of healthy landscapes.

DaCCA

In partnership with Sustainable Energy Denmark, the Devolution and Climate Change Action (DaCCA) program aim to ensure vulnerable populations in Kisumu, Homa Bay and Migori counties that are at risk of natural hazards caused by climate change are increasingly supported by policies and components funded by devolution and climate change funds. It focuses on best practice models for upscaling, replication, and funding from County authorities. We provide communities with training and insights in the hearing process and support the compilation of Community Adaptation Action Plans to be presented for the county at Ward and County levels.
