At SCOPE Kenya, our programs bridge education, nutrition, and environmental conservation to empower schools and communities to thrive sustainably. Guided by the principles of permaculture and agroecology, we work hand in hand with learners, teachers, and local groups to create resilient food systems and eco-conscious communities.
Programs in Learning Institutions
We believe that schools are powerful entry points for change — where environmental stewardship, nutrition, and community development can take root.
- Schools promoting ecological conservation and food security.
- Learning institutions championing environmental stewardship and sustainable nutrition.
- Schools nurturing ecological balance, biodiversity, and climate resilience.
- Education centers dedicated to sustainable agriculture and nature conservation.
- Eco-conscious schools fostering healthy eating habits and community food resilience.
- Classrooms empowering learners to protect the environment and grow nutritious food through hands-on permaculture education.
Through these efforts, SCOPE Kenya transforms schoolyards into living classrooms where learners experience sustainable farming, soil health, composting, and climate-smart gardening — while improving children’s nutrition through school feeding programs powered by their own gardens.
Programs in Communities
Beyond classrooms, SCOPE Kenya strengthens community resilience by empowering individuals and groups with skills, knowledge, and resources to achieve food and income security.
- Capacity Building: Training communities, school staff, and youth in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and sustainable agriculture.
- Permaculture Garden Design: Supporting households and schools to establish climate-smart gardens for food production and income generation.
- Women and Youth Empowerment: Encouraging participation in local food systems and environmental decision-making.
These initiatives foster self-reliant communities that can sustain their own nutrition, livelihoods, and ecological balance.
Collaboration, Advocacy & Policy Influence
SCOPE Kenya believes that lasting change requires collective action. We promote collaboration, advocacy, and lobbying to influence national policies on sustainable land use, ecological conservation, and food security.
Through partnerships with government agencies, civil society organizations, and educational institutions, we amplify the voices of schools and communities in shaping climate action, nutrition policy, and agroecology adoption.
Current Programs
Programme for Holistic Education for Sustainable Development (PHESD)
This program strengthens agroecology in schools, enhances SCOPE Kenya’s institutional capacity, and scales up sustainable land-use practices. By tackling food insecurity, malnutrition, and environmental degradation, PHESD contributes directly to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1 & 2 — ending hunger and poverty.
Integrating Permaculture Education in Schools (IPES)
This initiative empowers young people, women, and farming communities with knowledge and life skills in agroecology and permaculture. The goal is to build resilience against climate change and economic shocks, transforming agrarian landscapes into sustainable food systems that coexist harmoniously with nature.
Transforming African Food Systems to Sustainability (TAFS)
Through TAFS, SCOPE Kenya advocates for food sovereignty and agroecology across Africa. The project builds networks among food system actors, promotes healthy and culturally appropriate diets, and influences policies for sustainable agriculture and biodiversity protection.
Strengthening Climate-Resilient Food Systems in School Communities
This program mobilizes agroecology actors and enhances community capacity to adopt climate-resilient farming practices. It supports the creation of a vibrant agroecology movement that influences local and national policies for sustainability, gender equity, and youth engagement.
Connecting Young Agroecologists and Climate Advocates for Transformative Food Systems
This program builds a dynamic platform for youth climate leadership, enabling young people to address the challenges of climate change and food insecurity through agroecology. By promoting biodiversity, resilience, and equitable food systems, the program empowers youth to become agents of transformation in their schools, communities, and beyond.
