Proud to join forces with Hakiba Mashinani Trust, SDI & Muungano wa Wanavijiji in advancing #LandJustice in Mathare! Using community-owned data, we’re tackling land grabbing, displacement & the poverty penalty to pave the way for Mathare’s Special Planning Area status. #Mathare

Turning our green spaces into places where kids can laugh and play is what we’re all about. Proud to see Mathare Community Park growing into a spot for everyone. 🌿💚 #MathareCommunityPark

We joined key partners at the Youth Employability Roundtable (AACC, Westlands) to push for green, inclusive jobs for youth in Kenya.

We’re bridging training to real climate-smart work in places like Mathare.
