The Nguuni Nature Sanctuary is a pioneering community-based conservation model in Mombasa that marries biodiversity protection with public education, regenerative agriculture, and local livelihoods. A low‑cost, high‑impact approach trains youth and trainers in regenerative methods, boosts green skills, and safeguards vital water catchments.

Our Nguuni Nature Sanctuary is a launchpad for careers in rural Kenya. Through hands-on training in climate-smart agriculture, composting, and water conservation, we’ve empowered over hundreds of smallholder farmers, especially women, to start their gardens or become peer trainers. Read more about how Nguuni is inspiring the next generation of conservationists.
