We are a registered youth-led nonprofit in Kenya working with local communities in Busia County’s Lake Victoria Basin to promote environmental protection, health, human rights, youth leadership, and sustainable development.
We foster, empower, protect, conserve and restore!
Our Mission
To work with local communities so as to create intergenerational spaces for dialogue, reconnect people with knowledge systems, and drive practical, community-led action that addresses social, environmental, and development challenges in a holistic and locally grounded way.
The way forward is not to rush ahead, but to understand where we come from, reconnect with our roots, and move forward with intention.
-Oscar Ryan Ouma, Founder
OUR APPROACH
Our approach is guided by a community- led model that brings together people, knowledge systems, and practical action to address interconnected social, environmental, and development challenges. We work holistically, recognizing that issues such as environmental degradation, cultural disconnection, youth engagement, and community wellbeing cannot be addressed in isolation. At the center of our work is the revival of intergenerational dialogue through village barazas, a traditional way of gathering, learning and making decisions collectively. Through these spaces, we create room for communities to reflect, question, and co - create solutions grounded in their lived realities. In practice, this approach is expressed through community dialogue, knowledge and learning, regeneration spaces, and environmental stewardship.
Your support helps reconnect youth and communities with nature and culture, preserve traditional wisdom, and document indigenous teachings. It enables us to drive local climate action, protect the Lake Victoria Basin, host a regeneration festival and promote climate justice. Together, we can build a sustainable, resilient future for the Lake Victoria Basin and its communities.
