Greens of Africa Foundation (GAF)

About us

Greens of Africa Foundation (GAF) is a non-profit making women-led organization working in environmental conservation and sustainable community development in Kenya. 

It was founded by Jedidah Wanyeki in 2017 and registered in 2018 to respond to the needs of communities across the country that reported reduced water volumes and increased cost of supply due to heavy siltation and pollution of rivers due to environmental degradation and climate change. GAF encourages the water utilities to take up active environment conservation roles and work with communities for sustainable watershed management and protection to reduce the effect of upstream degradation and water pollution. GAF creates linkages with partners to realize their goals and objectives, through coordination, planning, mobilization, networking, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. Through a watershed-based approach and partnership with water utilities, it empowers the community to seek solutions and participate in solving problems. Its mobilization strategy ensures that the community is involved right from the project inception, planning and implementation.
