You’ve been very intentionly chosen to join an intimate group of 25 extraordinary leaders at the upcoming Earth One / Kenya immersion this October. 

Kenya stands at the edge of a new epoch. As the planet faces waves of urbanization and climate migration, this country - rich in youth, biodiversity, and cultural imagination - is quietly becoming one of the world’s most compelling laboratories for the future.

This journey invites us into living stories - across cities, savannahs, and coastlines - where local communities are building grounded responses to planetary challenges. It’s not a tour. It’s a movement across geographies of resilience, creativity, and renewal.

The Journey: Across Kenya

1.⁠ ⁠Nairobi – The Pulse of Urban Creativity

We begin in the vibrant capital, where energy and ambition collide with stark inequality and complex histories. But beneath the surface, a cultural renaissance is rising.

• Kibera’s Creative Economy

In Africa’s largest informal settlement, we’ll meet artists, musicians, designers, and entrepreneurs who are forging a new economic and cultural future from the margins. Here, beauty becomes a form of resistance—and possibility.

• Afrika House Gathering

An evening of music, food, and connection with high-level leaders across government, media, civil society, and the arts. This is a space to build new bridges—between people, sectors, and worlds.

2.⁠ ⁠Kakuma – Cities Born of Displacement

From Nairobi, we head north to the Turkana region, to be hosted by Earth One community member Abubakar at his home, the refugee camp of Kakuma.

• Regenerate: Kakuma

In a place built out of crisis, we find ingenuity. Refugee-led startups, solar microgrids, decentralized education - Kakuma offers a radical rethinking of urban development under pressure. We’ll walk the streets, meet the builders, and learn from a future that’s already unfolding.

3.⁠ ⁠Sarara – Guardians of the Wild

Deeper into the remote, rugged landscapes of Samburu, Sarara sits at the intersection of Indigenous wisdom, conservation, and regenerative livelihoods.

• Community-Led Conservation

We’ll meet Samburu elders and wildlife guardians protecting lions, elephants, and leopards while generating income through sustainable tourism, beadwork, and forest stewardship. This isn’t just about saving animals - it’s about restoring balance between people and land.

• The Sarara Ethos

What does it mean to protect what you love? How can ancient knowledge inform planetary futures? Sarara gives us living answers.

4.⁠ ⁠Kilifi – Coastal Regeneration

Our final stop is on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast, where lush forests meet blue waters and a new rural renaissance is emerging.

• Green Heart of Kenya

Kilifi is home to the country’s largest eco-village—a model of sustainable agriculture, circular design, and resilient community. We’ll explore its farms, workshops, and shared spaces that pulse with innovation.

• Mangrove & Ocean Conservation

We close by diving into the work of local stewards restoring Kenya’s mangrove forests- critical ecosystems that buffer coastlines, store carbon, and support marine life. This is where land and sea speak to each other, and to us.
