Kivukoni School is custodian of 8 beautiful acres of land surrounded by Takaungu Creek. As such, we have a responsibility to not only maintain this place, but to actively work to increase biodiversity, soil and water health, and to celebrate all the beings with whom we share our home. 

​

For every child or teacher who joins the school, an indigenous tree is planted in the Wangari Maathai forest, and each year we host the 'Ocean Challenge' - swimming 2km from the ocean up the creek to raise funds for the TMEC (Takaungu Marine Environment Conservation Group). This initiative funds the salaries of local conservation officers to work year round protecting this treasured area. 

​

We also have an permaculture shamba to demonstrate organic growing, composting systems, a reed bed water recycling system, and a large solar array, which meets a good proportion of the school's power needs. But we are hoping to once again become entirely powered by renewable energy (the school has grown a lot!) We are currently fundraising for this and would hugely appreciate your support.

 

There's always projects on the go to bring further life to this special place, and to improve our school's systems not only to minimise our environmental impact, but to inspire others to explore this way of life too.
