The organization aims to combat climate change and promote sustainable practices, particularly among children and young adults. Through innovative initiatives, Planet Patrons empowers the
Afforestation
Through our flagship Birthday Forests Initiative, we aim to increase forest cover, foster income-generating activities for partner schools, and impact environmental education to children. We collaborate with local communities to ensure the long-term sustainability of our afforestation efforts, promoting indigenous species and traditional conservation practices. Our approach combines modern scientific methods with local knowledge, creating resilient forest ecosystems that benefit both the environment and surrounding communities.
Environmental Education
and Awareness
We aim to promote environmental education and awareness in schools and communities across Kenya. Develop comprehensive educational programs that raise awareness about environmental issues and sustainable practices. Implement initiatives to sensitize communities on pollution issues and their impacts. Create engaging materials and activities to foster environmental stewardship among youth and adults.
Women, Children, and Youth Empowerment
We mainstream gender in climate action, foster tree nurseries, and create safe spaces for marginalized communities to participate in climate-related activities. Our initiatives include leadership training programs specifically designed to empower women and youth in environmental decision-making processes at local and national levels. We also provide mentorship and networking opportunities to support the development of young environmental entrepreneurs and advocates.
WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) Initiative
We provide water harvesting systems to schools, equip nursery points with water tanks, and promote sanitation and hygiene practices. Our WASH programs integrate environmental education, teaching communities about the link between water conservation and ecosystem health. We also work with local artisans to develop and promote affordable, eco-friendly sanitation solutions that reduce water pollution and improve public health.
Sustainable Agriculture & Food Security
Our focus is on promoting innovative and climate-resilient farming practices, implementing waste reduction programs, and increasing organic farming. Additionally, we promote value addition initiatives, including the use of inferior foods, increasing profitability, and reducing food wastage and harmful gas emissions from waste.
We collaborate with agricultural experts to develop and disseminate locally adapted, drought-resistant crop varieties to enhance food security in vulnerable regions. Our programs also include training on post-harvest technologies and market linkages to improve farmers’ incomes and reduce food losses.
