Partnerships
Donor collaborations, exchange programs, expert practitioners, and model replication — there's a place for partners who want to advance zero waste, zero hunger, and resilient communities.
Who we build with
Real engagements, described by their results — the list grows as each one is confirmed.
A fruitful cooperation that brought students and staff into the work. Together we helped the school manage its organic waste — and turned that waste into fertilizer for the school farm.
The produce was bountiful, and the students enjoyed the benefits. By leveraging what was already there, the project helped the school cut costs.
The school behind the rocky-terrain story. Over a nine-month engagement, students and staff rebuilt ground once thought non-arable — rock-walled beds, sack planters, and cone gardens on dry Kajiado soil.
The gardens now supply learners with fresh food through the dry seasons, grown on ground that used to be bush.
The Advocacy Project, a Washington, DC advocacy organization, featured the “Worm Ladies of Kibera” — the women's association behind the vermicomposting in Kibera, most of them single mothers, whose compost and produce carry the Lishe-Grow name.

Over six years, the project has grown through partnership: organizations that fund the work, schools that host it, programs that adapt it elsewhere, and practitioners who bring expertise back in. Today the foundation works with 8+ strategic partners across Kenya and beyond.
Four ways in
Foundations, NGOs, and institutions that fund composting hubs, gardens, and women's cohorts — and help turn a proven model into greater reach.
Start a conversationStudent and practitioner exchanges — including a planned Kenya–USA environmental ambassadors program — that share learning in both directions.
Start a conversationAgronomists, educators, and circular-economy specialists who lend technical expertise to strengthen the work on the ground.
Start a conversationOrganizations adapting the loop in new contexts — including refugee-population programs and groups across the wider East African region.

Tell us which pathway fits and what you'd like to explore. We read every message.
We talk through goals, scope, and where a partnership genuinely adds value to the work.
We agree how to work, then get going — with reporting that keeps partners close to the results.
Beyond partnership
The foundation also shows up in person — taking part in community trade fairs to showcase the work and build awareness.
A one-time or recurring gift funds the composting hubs, gardens, and cohorts directly.
