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.
