Youth-led conservation · Baringo County, Kenya

Snakes, people and one shared home

We are a youth-led initiative working hand in hand with Maa and neighbouring communities around Lake Baringo — turning fear of snakes into knowledge, safety and dignified livelihoods.

Our Story

Born where the savannah meets the lake

Our Mission

Our Vision

What Holds Us Up

Four pillars, one promise — coexistence

Like the beadwork of the Maa, every colour carries a meaning. Each pillar is a strand of the same promise: people and snakes, both safe.

How We Work

From awareness to enterprise

Four programmes that follow the journey from fear to understanding to livelihood. Select one to see what happens inside it.

Where We Have Been

Recent activities from the field

The work is seasonal and it moves with the communities — schools in term time, bomas in the dry season, the lake shore all year round.

The People

The team on the ground

Small, local and accountable — the people you will actually meet in the field.

Voices

What the community says

Teachers, elders, health volunteers and scientists — the people who work beside us, in their own words.
