About Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to transform the educational landscape in Kenya by establishing one-hectare botanic gardens in each primary school. Through these gardens, we aim to cultivate a deep sense of environmental conservation and sustainable practices among students, educators, and local communities. By fostering a connection with indigenous plant species and their ecosystems, we strive to create a generation of eco-conscious citizens who actively contribute to the preservation of Kenya's rich biodiversity and work towards a sustainable future for all.

Our Vision

Our vision is to revolutionize the way we approach education and conservation in Kenya, creating a greener and more sustainable future for the generations to come. By planting 60,688,000 indigenous trees across these botanic gardens, covering nearly 38,000 hectares of land, we envision a country that leads in environmental stewardship. We aspire to see every school become a center for ecological learning, where students gain hands-on experience in ecology, biology, and environmental science, fostering a deep appreciation for nature and a commitment to sustainable practices. Through these initiatives, we aim to empower Kenya's youth to take an active role in shaping a healthier, more vibrant, and sustainable society.

Our Objectives

  • 1. Promote Environmental Conservation: Our primary objective is to foster a culture of environmental conservation in Kenya by establishing one-hectare botanic gardens in every school. These gardens will serve as living laboratories, showcasing indigenous plant species and providing hands-on learning experiences that highlight the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem preservation.
  • 2. Enhance Sustainable Education: We aim to revolutionize the educational landscape in Kenya by integrating sustainable education into the school curriculum through these botanic gardens. Students will engage in experiential learning, gaining practical knowledge about ecology, biology, and environmental science, empowering them to become environmentally conscious citizens and future stewards of the planet.
  • 3. Restore and Preserve Biodiversity
  •   Our vision includes planting 60,688,000 indigenous trees across the botanic gardens, preserving Kenya's rich biodiversity. By creating mini-ecosystems that mirror the local climate and ecosystem, we will provide a sanctuary for endangered plant species and promote the conservation of native flora for future generations.
  • 4. Empower Local Communities: This nationwide initiative will engage local communities in the establishment and maintenance of these botanic gardens. Through collaborative efforts, communities will take ownership of these green spaces, fostering a sense of pride and responsibility towards their environment while building stronger bonds within the community.
  • 5. Contribute to Climate Change Mitigation: By planting millions of trees and creating carbon sinks through the botanic gardens, we aim to make a significant contribution to climate change mitigation in Kenya. The gardens will absorb and store carbon dioxide, reducing the country's carbon footprint and helping combat the effects of global warming.

Our Approaches to Address Climate Change

At the core of our project lies a deep commitment to environmental conservation and sustainable education. Each botanic garden will encompass a hectare of land and will be meticulously designed to house a diverse array of indigenous plant species, perfectly adapted to the local climate and ecosystem. By utilizing a 2.5x2.5-meter spacing, we aim to accommodate an impressive 1,600 trees in each school's botanical garden, creating a mini-ecosystem that thrives with biodiversity and natural harmony

Environmental Restoration

Planting over 60 million trees will significantly contribute to carbon sequestration, mitigating the effects of climate change and reducing Kenya's carbon footprint. The gardens will serve as vital carbon sinks, absorbing and storing CO2 from the atmosphere.

Biodiversity Conservation

By showcasing indigenous plant species, we will preserve and celebrate Kenya's rich biodiversity. These gardens will become sanctuaries for native flora, promoting the conservation of endangered species and safeguarding genetic diversity.
