In March, our Eco-Club members actively engaged in hands-on conservation activities. From a GEL Charity Drive to World Wildlife Day and World Water Day, as well as Eco-Club lessons, sessions were practical, engaging, and well received. Participation remained consistent across both learners and Eco-Mentors, with steady enthusiasm throughout the month.
In April, the focus is on Eco-Mentor training to strengthen delivery and build on this momentum.
GEL Charity Drive
GEL Charity Drive donations were successfully delivered to the TAFA Community Centre by Wilderness Kenya CEO, Hein Prinsloo, and his daughter, Riley Prinsloo. The donations included sports equipment, books, stationery, clothing, and shoes. These will directly support the children’s wellbeing, learning and daily needs.
World Wildlife Day – 3 March 2026
‘We marked World Wildlife Day by establishing tree nursery beds at the school. We set up nursery beds for two different tree species with 4 kg of Olea africana and 4 kg Seyal acacia. It was a very interactive session, and the students were fully involved throughout the activity.’ Fauzia – Mugie Conservancy Eco-Mentor
World Water Day – 22 March 2026
‘On Saturday 21 March, we had a lesson about Water Day and we learned about water conservation, the importance of water management and the kids also drew some arts about the water. It was a way of commemorating the world water day.’ James – Tafa Eco-Mentor
Eco-Club Lessons & Activities
Eco-Club lessons were delivered across our partner schools, with Eco-Mentors guiding learners through lessons.
‘We learnt about animal adaptations and the learners got to share their various interactions with different wild animals as they encounter them every single day, whether it’s on their way to and from school or seeing the animals grazing in the parks on weekends and holidays. We also conducted an energiser of learners mimicking movements of different animals.’ Naomi – Margaret Kenyatta Eco-Mentor
‘We had a lively and interactive session focused on saying no to poaching. We discussed practical personal initiatives that students and community members can take to help reduce poaching, including spreading awareness, supporting wildlife conservation efforts, reporting suspicious activities, and educating others about the importance of protecting endangered animals.’ Fauzia – Mugie Conservancy Eco-Mentor
‘Here at Irbaan, we are fortunate to have a smart weather station; we did some maintenance on the weather station as we also related it to the study of climate and weather, and climate change in general.’ George Rop – Irbaan Eco-Mentor
