We work with schools to establish indigenous tree nurseries and kitchen gardens, giving young people practical skills in climate action, food production, and entrepreneurship.

We are delighted to announce that from May 11th, 2026, we will begin our pilot program in two schools: Cheleta Primary School in Nairobi and Migosi Comprehensive School in Kisumu.

At both schools, we will establish tree nurseries and strengthen existing kitchen gardens, creating spaces where students can learn by doing.

Cheleta Primary School was established in 1978 and today has more than 1,200 students on 10 acres of land. It is one of only two public primary schools in Karura Ward. The school takes its name from Cheleta Farm, part of the former coffee estate that once covered what are now Runda, Gigiri, and Nyari.

Migosi Comprehensive School serves approximately 2,600 learners from ECD to Grade 9. What impressed us most was the school’s creativity. Despite limited space, the students have already established vertical kitchen gardens and are even growing crops in old pairs of jeans. Yes, jeans.

We are grateful to have already begun this journey in collaboration with Prime Bank, which is supporting the pilot program, and Kenya Forestry Research Institute, our technical partner, which is providing expertise on tree nurseries and environmental education. We are also continuing to reach out to other partners who share our vision.

These two schools are only the beginning. Our vision is to build a network of schools across Kenya where students learn not only how to plant trees and grow food, but also how to become environmental stewards and future changemakers.
