Our Conservation Journey
Hearts of Green Organization was Founded in 2012 by like-minded individuals who are passionate about championing environmental conservation, food security and climate change action. We are an NGO registered in Kenya whose aim to conserve the environment through meaningfully engaging students in primary schools, secondary schools and institutions of higher learning. We believe in inculcating the culture of environmentalism in the young generations by teaching them the virtues of conserving the environment through the ‘Adopt A Tree’ model so that in future, they will grow to be global ambassadors of environment conservation.
Until 2016 this passionate team had been carrying out these activities informally, then known as Hearts of Green Foundation. The entity later transformed and was registered as Hearts of Green Organization. This shift was a result of the need to engage the public more in environmental conservation, mobilize resources and actualize the organization’s objectives. There was also a growing need to partner with both the National Government and county Governments as well as the private sector.
To date, the organization has plated over 2 Million trees in schools, forests and other public spaces around Kenya. Hearts of Green has been and continues to mobilize and sensitize the public that environmental degradation, deforestation, and food insecurity are deeper issues of disempowerment, disenfranchisement, and a loss of the traditional values that have previously enabled communities to protect their environment, work together for mutual benefit, and meet their human development needs both selflessly and honestly.
Collaborating with other stakeholders, we continue to March on in the journey to restore our ecosystems, combat climate change and improve community livelihoods.
