Green Schools

🌿 My Environment, My Future

Empowering Students Through the School Greening Program

We partner with schools across Nakuru County to bring environmental education to life through the My Environment, My Future initiative β€” a hands-on program that encourages students to plant, nurture, and protect trees in their school environment.

Under teacher guidance, students:

  • 🌱 Plant and care for young trees

  • πŸ’§ Water, weed, and monitor growth

  • πŸ›‘οΈ Protect seedlings until maturity

This immersive experience cultivates both greener school grounds and a deeper understanding of climate responsibility among Kenya’s future leaders.

πŸ“š Environmental Education
Students learn the importance of conservation, climate action, and sustainable ecosystems.

🌿 Youth Leadership & Ownership
