Nyaim for Nature CBO mobilizes schools, youth groups and communities to plant and protect trees, in support of SDG 13 and a cooler, greener Kenya.
Our vision is to be the leading tree-planting organization in Kenya, protecting trees and pushing for the policies that keep them standing.
We reach the people who will live with the climate they inherit — starting in classrooms and school compounds around Ruai.
Nyaim for Nature CBO is a non-profit, community-based organization working to inspire people to plant, nurture and celebrate life. We focus on out-of-school youth and students in learning institutions, using participatory, youth-friendly models rather than one-off events.
Alongside tree planting, we run waste management and environmental care initiatives with schools, youth groups and community associations — helping people understand, and act on, why the environment around them matters.
We're proudly partnered with Greens of Africa Foundation, with more partnerships in the works as we grow.
As a non-profit, the services we charge for exist to fund the work we don't.
We organize and run community tree-planting days, and donate trees for school and community projects.
Tailored landscaping for schools, institutions and homes that want to green their grounds properly.
We partner with schools, youth groups and associations on practical waste and recycling initiatives.
Workshops and training on sustainable practice, built for students and out-of-school youth alike.
Expert advice for organizations and institutions building their own environmental conservation strategy.
Recycled products and Nyaim for Nature-branded T-shirts, hoodies and caps — proceeds go back into the work.
