Manguo Wetland Restoration

Our Story: Restoring Manguo Wetland

The Wetlands Restoration initiative, part of SITTY's Voices of Change, focuses on revitalizing Kenya’s degraded wetlands. These ecosystems are vital for combating climate change, preserving biodiversity, and sustaining livelihoods. Through local collaboration, restoration efforts, and workforce development, we aim to not only restore the environment but also create economic opportunities for local communities.

At Voices of Change, we are committed to protecting Manguo Wetland—a vital ecosystem in Limuru, Kenya that supports biodiversity, water filtration, and local livelihoods. This wetland has long been overlooked, yet it plays a crucial role in the environmental health of the region.
Our work began with a simple conviction: that conservation must start with community and be rooted in action, education, and equity.

What We’ve Done So Far

On-the-Ground Restoration

We’ve organized clean-up efforts and native plantings to help revive the health of Manguo Wetland. These early steps are helping to stabilize the area’s biodiversity and reduce pollution.

Community Engagement:

We’ve hosted discussions and workshops with local residents to raise awareness about the importance of wetland ecosystems, with a focus on indigenous knowledge and lived experience.

Early Collaboration, Media & Advocacy

Through the Voices of Change platform, we’ve told stories about Manguo Wetland’s ecological value, elevating it as a case study in grassroots environmental care. We’ve begun building relationships with conservationists, policymakers, and educators to explore long-term strategies for protecting Manguo.
