Environment Pillar

Greening the Dry Lands

Restoring forests, sharing organic agriculture technologies, and fighting plastic waste to build resilient ecosystems and secure local food sources.

Securing a Sustainable Future for the Next Generation

Under our motto, \"For dry lands, bring green,\" ACEF runs active environmental forestry and sustainable agriculture programs in Kenya. We believe that caring for the earth is deeply tied to the health and education of children.

School Forests Project

Launched in 2003, this project works alongside primary schools and communities to plant native tree seedlings and care for local green zones.

By participating directly in planting and watering, children learn the value of environmental protection and cultivate practical leadership skills to safeguard their community's microclimate.

KOAETEC Organic Agriculture Center

Established in 2007 in Embu, KOAETEC serves as a training ground for local farmers and youth to learn sustainable organic farming methodologies.

Eco-friendly Farming: We teach composting, water preservation, drought-resistant crop cultivation, and EM (Effective Microorganisms) techniques to eliminate dependency on chemical fertilizers.

Kibera Slum waste management

In Nairobi's largest slum, Kibera, waste pile-up creates severe health hazards. We cooperate with youth groups to coordinate environmental cleaning campaigns and establish sorting setups.

We promote organic waste composting and basic recycling setups to create localized green businesses and clean up public pathways.

Eco-Bag & Plastic Reduction

Following Kenya's strict national ban on single-use plastic bags in 2017, ACEF launched eco-bag distribution programs utilizing traditional African textiles.

These fabric bags are hand-stitched by local tailors and vocational school graduates, combining environmental awareness with job creation for women in rural districts.
