Save to Favorites

The Environmental Issues Clean-up and Justice aka "EICJ" is a program that consists in uniting countries around the world, and fundraising money for cleaning our mother Earth.
Five schools participated in the first EICJ 2015 that took place on November 28, 2015.

The following year our organization collaborated with Alert Funds, M-Changa, Pollination Project, YADEN East Africa, PCI Media Impact, IUCN in order to build padded plastic bottle stools, love the nature, make plastic waste floaters and constructing a plastic bottle classroom for the children in Mwangala/Kenya who don't have a classroom to learn.

Daily workshops will include:

Learning to live sustainably: Kishoka Youth Organization is a Zero Net community which means we recycle and reuse everything. Students will learn the importance of growing your own food, how to compost food waste, how easy it is to make plastic waste floaters and how to reuse plastic wastes with an entrepreneur mind.

Creating a spiritual practice workshop: Having a spiritual practice is so important in our busy lives. Students will have daily yoga and meditation classes with renowned instructors to help create a practice that students can take back home with them. We will also learn the healing properties of crystals, essential oils, plant medicine and building altars for your personal space.

Music and dance workshop: Music soothes the soul and dance is all about self-expression. Students will get to connect with traditional musicians from Kenya and also share the music they love. We will also explore the healing properties of sound vibration and the ritual of cultural dance.
