the program fosters a deep connection to the land and highlights the vital role agriculture plays in securing the future of food... connecting daily garden care to global environmental solutions.

to plant and grow trees while practicing sustainable, organic farming in small spaces. By teaching students how to care for a garden.
Through modern technologies like virtual reality, they are also able to show students the pressing climate issues affecting Kenya and the world

The public was told these were two completely separate projects. But on the ground, it looks like one continuous construction site.
The timing.
The scale.
The location.
The mutualistic design.
The very clear contradiction in the EIA, where the scope initially stated was for 50 buses and 100 cars and then increased dramatically to 1300 vehicles.

And now the excavation inside Nairobi National Park is already underway.

Kenyans deserve transparency and honest answers about what is happening to one of the world’s only national parks inside a capital city.

Our Nairobi National Park is under threat. 100 acres of protected upland forest in Nairobi National Park are being cleared displacing wildlife and violating protected zoning. This is about our environment, our rights, our future.

We attended a Food Literacy Forum hosted by Route to Food yesterday afternoon, where the discussion centered on the growing concerns around the #unsustainability of chemical fertilizers. Key issues raised included their fragility in the face of global oil conflicts, their environmental impact, and the reality that, in many cases, they are doing more harm than good to our soils.

A highlight of the day was hearing from Marie Waihenya, a large-scale agroecology farmer managing hundreds of acres using agroecological practices. Her insights were both practical and inspiring- emphasizing approaches such as recycling organic waste, restoring soil health, enhancing biodiversity, and applying broader agroecology principles. Her work is a powerful reminder that sustainable alternatives are not only possible, but already in practice.

There was also an important reflection from Dr. Harun, who noted that while we must gradually move away from chemical fertilizers, the transition will take time. Given that some soils are already heavily degraded, a balanced and thoughtful approach- rather than abrupt shifts- is essential.

Overall, the forum left us encouraged. There is real hope in agroecology. Many thanks to Route to Food for convening such an important and timely dialogue.

Buy your children a book every month and have a date to talk about the book and what they’ve read. Talk about the characters like they’re real. Bond over literature. Debate the lessons and decision making. Over food and drinks. Cultivate readers and build their collection

Cross-ventilation does the work; entrance to terrace, continuous breeze.
The earth keeps it cool. The ceiling height pulls heat up.
Tropical comfort without mechanical cooling.

From napier grass to a thriving green space.
At Mwenji Comprehensive School, 1800m² is transforming. In a few years, this space will look and feel very different and we’re here for every step of that journey.
