Good to see our trees grow into a small forest
Cities contribute 70% of climate change emissions. There’s need for #TreesForCities to create urban carbon absorption systems.
Much appreciation to @TheIEK, University of Nairobi @uonbi, our Patron Dr Eng Damaris Oyaro and @k_iuesa

The World Needs a Climate Adaptation Breakthrough at #COP30.
In their latest @Newsweek op-ed, Chancellor and President @GCAdaptation @Prof_PatrickV and Ban Ki-moon call for #COP30 to be the moment when words turn into action.
They argue that climate adaptation is no longer optional but humanity’s first line of defense. With global temperatures rising and extreme weather intensifying, the world must triple adaptation finance by 2030 and deliver a new global architecture that protects the most vulnerable.

Lead contamination from solid waste mismanagement is a growing concern, especially from electronic waste
This is majorly due to lack of solid waste separation at source structures.
Find out how our SmartCities project is sorting that problem through

The World Health Organization estimates that 1 in every 3 children globally has elevated blood lead levels — a silent crisis robbing potential before life begins. Speaking at the Launch of The 13th International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week of Action at @uonbi, H.E. Dr. Joyce Kithure called for urgent collective action to end lead exposure and safeguard future generations. She commended the University of Nairobi for translating research into real-world change; ‘science must speak to society’s pain,’ she said; and reaffirmed her commitment through the Safe Communities Project, which promotes clean water, renewable energy, waste management, and youth innovation. ‘There is no safe level of lead,’ she reminded all.

Our team has reunited after an inspiring time in Johannesburg, focused and aligned on what’s ahead. The experience strengthened our commitment to innovation, community impact, and empowering young people.
We also connected with our Bloemfontein team, opening space for youth engagement and to share our vision of building opportunities for young people and creating impact that resonates locally and globally.

Attention changemakers! Earth's fever is rising: temperatures have surpassed pre-industrial levels by 1°C, with the last 7 years being the hottest ever. This isn't just a statistic - it's melting glaciers, intensifying storms, and displacing millions. ️

Flagging off the COP30 Bike ride team from Kenya. Proud moment watching our innovators pedal 15,500km to Brazil, carrying Africa's climate stories to the world stage. From Nairobi's e-bike startups to COP30—this is how we bridge grassroots solutions with global action. 🚴♂️🌍 #CycleCOP30 #ClimateAction
