At Haller, we believe education is the key to a sustainable future. Our award-winning, solar-powered Education Centre in Mombasa has been a beacon of learning since 2006, home to Kenya’s first free children’s library. Every year, over 5,000 children from informal settlements visit this safe space, gaining access to books, IT resources, and vocational training.

Now, we’re looking for a passionate volunteer to help revitalise our children’s library in a hands-on, impactful way! This exciting project will take place over 4-6 weeks in April and May 2025.

Land stewardship is “the most precious resource to ensure the stability and prosperity of billions of people around the world.” Sustainable land management has the power to address today’s global challenges and create a blueprint to a better future on land for all generations.

Smallholder farmers play an increasingly important role in food safety. 80% of food in developing regions is grown by smallholders, and with food demand expected to grow by more than 70% by 2050, there is a clear need to install sustainable food systems that work for these communities.

Dr Haller’s methodology extends throughout all of the work the Haller Foundation carries out today. Here we explore just a few of the ways we’re currently working to restore degraded landscapes and protect the environment.

On International Day of Plant Health, we recognise the global challenge of plant health that affects livelihoods worldwide.
