Haller’s annual School Farmers’ Open Day brought over 1,000 pupils, teachers, and parents together to explore sustainable farming, biodiversity, and wellbeing.

The Nguuni Nature Sanctuary is a pioneering community-based conservation model in Mombasa that marries biodiversity protection with public education, regenerative agriculture, and local livelihoods. A low‑cost, high‑impact approach trains youth and trainers in regenerative methods, boosts green skills, and safeguards vital water catchments.

Our Nguuni Nature Sanctuary is a launchpad for careers in rural Kenya. Through hands-on training in climate-smart agriculture, composting, and water conservation, we’ve empowered over hundreds of smallholder farmers, especially women, to start their gardens or become peer trainers. Read more about how Nguuni is inspiring the next generation of conservationists.

On the panel sat Ed Paice, author of" Youth Quake: Why African Demography Matters to the Rest of the World", Noni Muchiri of BBC World Service, Jessica Hagen-Zanker from the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) and David Ngome, Haller Foundation trustee and development communications consultant at the International Fertiliser Development Centre (IFDC).

Through water conservation, composting, and innovative planting methods, we’re helping communities secure their livelihoods and protect their environment for future generations.

Over 20 years, the challenges facing the smallholder communities Haller was set up to serve have shifted and evolved. But our approach remains rooted in a mission to bring together ecology and economy.

Bees play a critical role in the global food chain, pollinating around three-quarters of the world’s flowering plants which produce 90% of the world’s food. The FAO has estimated that one out of every three bites of food we eat depends on bee pollination.
