Who We Are
Team Climate Change Naivasha (TCCN) is a youth-led, community-based environmental organisation based in Naivasha, Nakuru County, Kenya. We work alongside communities and partners to protect and restore ecosystems, address climate change, and promote sustainable livelihoods.

Through practical conservation, ecosystem restoration, environmental education, climate action and sustainable livelihood initiatives. We bring people together to protect the natural environment and create a healthier, more resilient and sustainable Naivasha.
Our work is rooted in local knowledge, community participation and practical action, connecting environmental conservation with the everyday needs and aspirations of the people who depend on these ecosystems.
