Being an active member of the globe movement, our school submitted the following 5 projects.

i) Impact of poor waste management on breeding of aedes mosquito: Moroto slum,Mombasa County.
ii) Investigating the impacts of mangrove restoration ecosystem, in Kidongo Baharini.
iii) Study of water quality from the Natural water sources with.
iv) Natural compost: combating chemical fertilizers
v) Investigating the impact of mulching on soils.

Two of our projects (Investigating the impact of mulching on soils and Impact of poor waste management on breeding of Aedes mosquito: Moroto slum,Mombasa County)  made it to the final draw among 3 others from Madagascar and Nigeria.
