Training the Next Generation on Mfangano Island, Kenya

The Train My Generation Team continues in 2025 to support women's health, vocational training and environmental restoration on Mfangano Island, Lake Victoria in Kenya.

This is a part of our 30 year commitment to see sustained improvements of the island's habitats, health and education services. We will be working with each generation to give them the tools to lead prosperous and happy lives.

Lake Victoria serves 40m people on its shores and another 350m along the banks of the Nile, so its resilience and long term sustainability are crucial to the East African community and to its European neighbours.

Funds raised are not given as gifts or handouts, but ensure longer term independence, and help spread the voices of the community so we can encourage change at scale around the entire lake.

These funds will be used for activities throughout 2025, focusing on the following areas:

A filming expedition in July (£5,000) to gather footage of the people, places and stories around the island to help us attract more change makers in Kenya and abroad.

Veronica will lead delivery of menstrual and sexual health training sessions to the boys and girls at schools across the islands. 8 school sessions in 2025, reaching nearly 1000 individuals. (£1,000)

Felix will lead on tree planting and sapling nursery events at schools are churches, at 8 schools in 2025, with up to 1000 saplings planted) (£1,500)

TMG sponsorship of local fishing community gathering centres (BMUs, or Beach Management Units) to share our work with the broader community.

Cliff leads as our Treasurer and on community engagement.

Vincent is our project leader and founder.

James leads on communications and partnerships

So many others help is so many ways.

Thank you for supporting the team and we look forward to showing the results of our work as news comes in.
