CONSERVATION.
Pamoja Afya (Health) Initiative recognizes the linkage between wellbeing and nature conservation that results into environmental sustainability and good natural resource stewardship. Our project therefore educates and inspires youth to become environmental protectors by taking positive actions on the world around them. The program therefore engages in:-
Tree planting and waste recycling campaigns:
The program is involved in mobilization and engagement of youth in biodiversity conservation activities. Such as tree planting and waste recycling aimed at creation of green jobs and conservation of the environment. The project targets to plant 20 million trees around national parks and games reserves in 5 years. The project mobilizes students in schools to not only each student plant and look after atleast 5 trees but also mobilzes other 5 people in their households to atleast plant a tree. This promotes planting of fruit trees which help to provide food, firewood and medicine to community members.
Stop Littering Campaign
The program empowers young children in schools with knowledge and skills of stop littering plastics and polythene anyhow so as keep our environment clean and conserve our plan. Pamoja Afya Initiative targets to impact the attitudes. Also behaviours of children to change the practice of littering at an early age.
Go Green clubs in primary and secondary schools
Pamoja Afya ( Health) Initiative also establishes Go Green clubs in primary and secondary schools, vocational institutions and colleges with aims at creating awareness on climate change mitigation and adaptation . The Go Green clubs are aimed at inflencing the students communities to integrate conservation practices into their families and communities.
