Kitui County – Resilient ECDE & Community Environmental Learning Project
Kitui County – Resilient ECDE & Community Environmental Learning Project Location: Kitui County, KenyaFocus Areas: Resilient ECDE | Water Security | Climate Mitigation | Environmental Education Creating Greener and More Resilient Learning Spaces In Kitui County, Restoration of Planet Earth supports Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) centres to become safer, greener, and more resilient learning environments. The project promotes eco-friendly ECDE centres through initiatives such as solar lighting, environmental learning, tree planting, water conservation, and hygiene education. Children are introduced to environmental stewardship at an early age, while teachers and communities are equipped with practical knowledge to create sustainable learning spaces. The project also connects ECDE centres with wider community climate and water initiatives, helping children understand the importance of protecting water, trees, soil, and biodiversity. Key Activities: Installation and promotion of solar lighting Environmental learning for young children Tree planting around ECDE centres Water conservation and rainwater harvesting Hygiene and WASH education Teacher and community environmental awareness Creation of child-friendly green learning spaces Impact:The project is helping create learning environments where children can learn safely while developing an early understanding of environmental responsibility, climate resilience, and sustainable living.

Makueni County – Community Water Security & Climate Resilience Project
Makueni County – Community Water Security & Climate Resilience Project Location: Makueni County, KenyaFocus Areas: Water Security | Climate Mitigation | Community Resilience Securing Water for Drought-Resilient Communities In Makueni County, Restoration of Planet Earth works with local communities to address water scarcity and increasing drought pressures through affordable, community-led water solutions. The project promotes low-cost sand dams, rooftop rainwater harvesting, water conservation, and landscape restoration to improve access to reliable water. Alongside water infrastructure, communities are encouraged to restore vegetation and protect natural water sources through tree planting and Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR). These combined approaches help improve water availability, protect soils, restore ecosystems, and strengthen community resilience to climate change. Key Activities: Construction and promotion of low-cost sand dams Rooftop rainwater harvesting Tree planting and native ecosystem restoration Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) Community training on water conservation Climate adaptation and resilience awareness Impact:The project is helping communities develop locally managed solutions that improve water security while strengthening their capacity to cope with drought and environmental degradation.
