Sustaining Our Planet, Empowering Our Communities

The Importance of Environmental Protection

As a community reading in the Coastline of the Indian Ocean, we are aware of the adverse consequences of climate change and how they affect our livelihoods. At GGI, through this thematic area, we hope to to get involved in the climate action efforts implemented within the Coastal strip of Kenya and beyond. 

Our Approach to Environmental Protection

In regards to this theme, we have undertaken several activities in  partnership with relevant organisations.

  1. Mangrove planting in celebration of the 2023 world mangrove day
  2. To celebrate International Beach Clean up day, GGI staff and the Vanga community participated in a beach clean up in Bazo/ Jimbo beach.
  3. Tree planting in Kilifi with YALI PWANI chapter

GGI, through its association with Young African Leaders Initiative Pwani Chapter was invited for a post Africa Climate Summit engagement session at the American Corner, Mombasa, The two day event involved a tree planting activity in Kilifi for restoration of mangroves in the coastal strip held in Bamba, Kilifi.
