Community Events

Kivukoni Eco Festival

Every other year we host this festival to celebrate nature and community. In 2024 we welcomed 1300 people to the school, with over 90% coming from local communities, including 350 sponsored tickets, meals and transport. Find out more here.

Beach Cleans

We host regular gatherings to help clean our local beaches. We collect the plastic and other trash, and take it to Eco World in Watamu, where it can be transformed into something useful.

Mangrove Planting

Together with the Little Environmental Action Foundation, we support local mangrove planting events. This is a fantastic way to care for our local ecosystems and community, as these events provide employment and great opportunities for local people to get involved.

Ocean Challenge - Supporting TMEC

Each year, we host a 2km swim up Takaungu creek, raising funds and awareness for the Tkauangu Marine Environment Conservation Group. This event funds the salaries of two local TMEC officers to protect this treasured ecosystem all year long.

Partnership Approach

Our partnerships are guided by these principles:

Reciprocity

We strive for mutually beneficial relationships where knowledge, resources, and benefits flow in both directions.

Local Priority

We prioritise partnerships with local organisations and community initiatives, supporting the ecological and economic vitality of our region.

Student Connection

All partnerships include meaningful opportunities for student engagement, whether through field trips, guest speakers, or collaborative projects.

Long-term Vision

We develop partnerships with long-term impact in mind, focusing on sustained relationship-building rather than one-off collaborations.
