ABOUT US

Improving the quality of the environment, life and wellbeing of people across Africa.

As a committed non-governmental organization, our core purpose is to champion the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a special emphasis on SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being). Founded in December 2020, we have been actively contributing through various initiatives since January 2020.

In the past three years, our efforts have scaled significantly, enabling us to successfully execute 10 projects, mobilize over 100 dedicated volunteers, and positively impact over 20,000 individuals. Our primary focus is Africa, beginning with Nigeria, where we address critical environmental issues that fuel climate change – this includes tackling single-use plastic use, improper waste disposal, deforestation, bush burning, and the overreliance on fossil fuels.

About Us

What We Do

01

ADVOCACY

Our sensitization and campaign programmes, are designed to reach out to predisposed, and/or affected communities, groups or locations, where we educate locals in relatable terms about climate change, environmental health and personal wellbeing.

TREE PLANTING

Is one of our strategies to displace carbon from the atmosphere and reduce air pollution, as well as restore soil health, preserve indigenous trees for food, medicine and also manage and/or prevent potential flood crisis and other possible natural disasters.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

We carry out physical sustainability projects like plastic extraction cleanups, recycle and reuse trainings, trash to wealth skill development trainings, and tree planting where locals are educated over a period, and are then supervised by our team on a "Self-Led" activity to practice what has been taught.

TRAINING

Recycling and environmental care tranings are used to empower youths and women of local communities to transform waste to wealth through recycling and craft. This helps control the spread of plastics and reuseable waste from landfills and water bodies. It empowers its benefactors financially as a source of income and gives them a sense of ownership as it concerns their environment.
