My project is based at home, where I'm transforming my space into a self-sustaining environmental hub. I practice poultry farming, composting and organic crop production. I'm also currently expanding into agroforestry, I've began documenting my journey under the theme "rooted with Mirel" to educate the public and inspire others, especially youths to embrace sustainable farming as a powerful tool for both climate action and food justice

"My project involves environment education and youth empowerment on matters sustainability aiming to equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to take meaningful action on sustainability. By creating awareness around issues like plastic pollution, climate change, and responsible consumption, we hope to inspire a generation that not only understands the importance of environmental stewardship but also feels empowered to lead local solutions. Through workshops, field visits, and storytelling, we bridge the gap between information and impact encouraging youth to become changemakers in their communities and champions for a greener, more sustainable future.

"Trash to Treasure
Turning plastic waste and used tires into industrial oil, thereby enabling both economic and sustainable growth. This initiative aligns with the broader vision of fostering sustainability and promoting an eco-friendly future for Kenya. As a country blessed with rich natural resources and biodiversity, Kenya stands at a pivotal moment in its environmental journey. With the world facing increasing climate challenges, the need for sustainable practices has never been more urgent. For Kenya, embracing sustainability is not only about protecting the environment; it is about securing a viable and prosperous future for generations to come.
Achieving sustainability in Kenya involves balancing economic development with environmental conservation. Key focus areas include renewable energy, waste management, conservation of wildlife and natural habitats, and sustainable agriculture. My project, Trash to Treasure contributes directly to this vision by addressing waste management while creating economic opportunities. Ultimately, Kenya’s sustainable future hinges on innovation, conservation, and community empowerment — a future where interventions are integral to driving long-term prosperity and environmental stewardship.

"Real Solutions Run on Renewable Energy.
As part of my ongoing commitment to sustainable development and social impact, I am focusing on SDG 4 and 7. I am spearheading a climate change awareness project focused on public education and grassroots engagement.
This initiative aims to demystify climate science, highlight the dangers of unchecked carbon emissions, and promote practical solutions that individuals and communities can adopt to make their lives better.
A key area of focus is advocating for increased penetration of renewable energy, such as solar, wind, and biogas as viable and equitable alternatives to carbon trading systems.
I believe that carbon trading is a false solution that marginalize vulnerable communities. Through workshops, community forums, and digital campaigns, I aim to make renewable energy knowledge more accessible while encouraging policy support for clean energy transitions.
Women Economic Empowerment
Complementing this is a parallel project dedicated to the economic empowerment of women, especially those in marginalized or rural settings.
This includes offering training in business and financial literacy and strengthening community awareness on the importance of gender equity in economic growth which will help solve other social justice problems.
My project's unique approach of aligning climate action with social empowerment and economic empowerment, would foster inclusive growth and long-term resilience in both environmental and human ecosystems.

"My project is about climate literacy,it's named "" understanding sdgs with nyambu"" I do webinars and x spaces to educate people about sdgs , I write blogs and I also partner with organisations to educate people on the ground about climate matters . Recently I joined several organization where we began a 12 week project that educates JSS students about waste management,and linkage to UN SDGS , I also do tree planting and community clean up activities . I love this project because inasmuch as we will clean up the area the people will litter again if we don't sensitize them and teach them on ways they can responsibly manage waste at their homes before it ends up on the roads and everywhere else ."

My current project, titled ""Advancing Sustainability Through Community Engagement and Education,"" focuses on building climate resilience and promoting sustainable practices within local communities. We work with youth, women, and marginalized groups to raise awareness about environmental issues, champion eco-friendly practices, and inspire local action.
Through capacity-building workshops, school outreach, clean-up campaigns, and environmental clubs, we educate communities on climate change, conservation, and circular economy principles. The project also integrates livelihood support and policy advocacy, ensuring that sustainability is both a shared value and a lived experience.
This initiative is more than a campaign,it's a movement to nurture informed, engaged, and empowered citizens driving sustainability from the ground up."

"My project involves sustainable fashion from all fronts; designing, producing and consuming clothing in a way that protects the environment.
Firstly, by breaking down overconsumption culture, which led to the rise of fast fashion. If people knew how to find more value in less, find their sense of style and what works for them, they'd feel less the need to go and buy more than necessary. Raising awareness against fast fashion, not only for individuals but also for fashion brands; the importance of making their brands sustainable. Through the materials they use, the production process....in terms of, how much energy is used, and how to produce sustainable energy;how much water is used; what is their waste control policy.
Tackle waste reduction; the massive production of clothes means a mountain of waste, especially here in Kenya as it is the biggest importer of second hand clothes in Africa. My project targets boosting cloth swaps and resale. Whereby, platforms provide a space for individuals to swap or resale their clothes amongst themselves; and the ones deemed too old directed towards fabric recycling centres. Instead of landfills, or burning which does the environment no good.
Finally I'd tackle the problem at the source,and try to have a sit down with policymakers and discuss quality control for the imports of secondhand clothes.
This is just a nutshell of my project. I have specifics and a road map on how I would achieve said goals, which I'll be happy to share at your request."
