The climate crisis is a reality, and it is understandable to be eco-anxious.

It's important to remember that you're not alone, and that even as we actively champion for a healthier planet: we should also prioritize our mental health by slowing down and being intentional with our actions 💛💚

How do you take action for #biodiversity?

There are many ways to take action:

💚 Educating and empowering kids to appreciate biodiversity; here we are planting trees with them so they can learn the value of nature.

💚 By planting and growing trees we are improving access, and the quality of green spaces especially in urban areas.

💚 This was a collaboration between other organisations- and that's a dope way of taking action!

Community Trainers Spotlight

Meet @consciousaya, Community Trainer on pillar 3: Innovation 🫶🏾

"As an Innovation trainer, I'm so happy these groups have created innovative business and project models and have been able to showcase themselves as active participants in the industry."

#youth #advocacy #innovation
Youth Empowerment & Engagement is a hands-on approach to our three pillars. 

This week the groups explored Climate Justice and watched a film on river pollution, and painted the reality of how their community looks like now and how they envision its transformation through the power of advocacy and collaboration .

Our space:

Our venue is 250m2 5 roomed-maisonette, consisting of:

  • Training room – where training, workshops, meetings happen
  • Art area – where making happens. I.e. design and making of banners, drawings, art and crafts, painting etc.
  • Kitchen, tea and coffee prepared
  • Silent room: a safe space where young mothers who come with their kids can rest, feed, change nappies etc, this is also used as a prayer/yoga room.
  • Warehouse: this is where we keep training materials, paints, books, pens and other materials for the space as well as a media centre in case interviews are done.

About the city

Nairobi is a fast growing city economically, where the people are entrepreneurial and like to try new things. There is good democratic space and a broad commitment with students and young people in informal settlements – but they lack a common meeting place where they can break down class differences and cooperate. Nairobi has extensive experience of makerspaces with currently 10+ spaces operating in the city, but none of them are climate related. Kenya is ranked top in matters of tech savvy use by young people, which made it a good fit for trying out digital and global activism.
