About Us — Climate Action Initiative (CAI)
Growing Resilience, One Community at a Time

Our Vision
We see a Kenya where communities and nature thrive together, strong, green, and unshaken by climate challenges.

Our Mission
We’re here to grow hope from the ground up.
We work hand-in-hand with Kenyan communities to:

• Teach simple, powerful ways to fight climate change (because knowledge is a shield).
• Plant trees that heal rivers, feed families, and shelter futures (one seedling at a time).
• Build unbreakable bonds between people and their land (because together, we’re tougher than drought).

No fancy jargon. No distant promises. Just dirt-under-the-nails work, led by the people who know their homes best.

Who We Are
We’re a grassroots team rooted in Kenya’s Trans Nzoia, Turkana, West Pokot, and Bungoma counties. Our home is Kitale, but our hearts belong to the communities we serve. Climate change isn’t just a global issue—it’s a daily reality here. That’s why we’re rolling up our sleeves to protect the land we call home.

What We Do
We believe in action, not words. Right now, we’re focused on two simple but powerful goals:

1. Teach & Empower: We help communities understand climate challenges and give them tools to fight back. No jargon, just practical steps—like planting trees where they matter most.
2. Protect Water, Protect Life: By restoring water catchment areas with native trees, we’re safeguarding water for families, livestock, and the land itself.

How We Work

• By the People, For the People: Our 18 volunteers (locals from Bungoma and Trans Nzoia) lead the charge. They’re neighbors, parents, and youth—people who know the land best.
• No Quick Fixes: We don’t do handouts. Instead, we work side-by-side with communities to plant trees, share knowledge, and build lasting solutions.
• Transparency First: Every donation, every effort, goes straight to the ground—literally.

Why It Matters
Climate change hits hardest here. But when communities rise together, miracles happen:

• Stronger families: Elders share wisdom, kids grow up with greener futures.
• Healthier ecosystems: Rivers flow cleaner, soil grows richer, wildlife thrives.
• A ripple effect: Every tree planted today is a shield against tomorrow’s storms.

Join Us
We’re small but mighty—and growing. With your help, we’ll:
✓ Train more locals to lead climate action.
✓ Expand tree-planting to protect water sources.
✓ Turn “what if” into “what’s next” for thousands.

Your Support Changes Stories
Whether you donate, volunteer, or spread the word—you’re not just fighting climate change. You’re helping families write a new story: one where hope outlasts drought, and communities thrive with nature, not against it.
