THE FIRST ONE THOUSAND FLYING GARDENS

The Flying Garden Project, HHFI's first initiative, was launched in the Kibera settlement in Nairobi and required the participation of community leaders, special workers, volunteers, coordinators and financial supporters.  

​

The following year, HHFI partnered with Ndururuno Primary school in Huruma, Nairobi, expanding its impact to Ndururuno's 2,000 students and their parents. Subsequently, HHFI partnered with Muthurwa Primary school in the same district. Muthurwa fourth grade students received the assignment to build a flying garden each - an additional four hundred flying gardens!

​

Through its activities with Nairobi schools HHFI has impacted at least 18,000 people, including students and their parents, teachers and the surrounding community members.

​

HHFI partnered with Kipepeo Green Heritage, a Nairobi-based non-profit NGO committed to planting two million trees in two years.  HHFI began teaching principles of environmental conservation and encouraging beneficiaries to plant trees.

 

HHFI developed two systems for managing water resources, a water harvesting dam and the HHFI Drip to Drip Portable Irrigation Kit System. In 2024, HHFI partnered with the Kenya Water Institute to build the Irrigation Knowledge Hub, a community-based model agricultural learning site.

 

HHFI established two demonstration sites: Tala, in Eastern Kenya, and Masogo Tipping Point, in Kisumu County. These sites are always open to visitors who want to see a demonstration of HHFI programs.
