🌍 Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay🌿 We appreciate the work you do, Green Africa Foundation in promoting environmental conservation and for being a DIAR Awards Champion. Green Africa Foundation was founded in Kenya in 2000 with a focus on implementing practical hands-on community-driven projects aimed at greening the African continent. It is articulated through the Green Africa village concept where communities undertake a series of activities that result in sustainable environmental conservation and natural resource management, assurance of food security, policy dialogue and advocacy, and social integration through peacebuilding, ethical and moral probity. Their green philosophy is in three folds: The First Green is to treat people kindly through upholding ethics and training on life skills. The Second Green is to promote good health, peace within communities and to create sustainable livelihoods. The Third Green is actual environmental conservation.
On this #WorldEnvironmentDay we want to highlight the works of DIAR Awards 5th edition Environmental conservation champions: Elizabeth Wathuti, Pamela Kiambi, Benard Kioko, and Lesein Mutunkei.
