SCOPE Kenya
Schools and Colleges Permaculture Programme (SCOPE) Kenya, is a local capacity-building and networking organization, which was established in 2014 by 14 Civil Society Organizations, with a purpose of strengthening implementation and coordination of work related to gardening and environmental conservation in schools. Currently SCOPE Kenya has a membership of 16 Civil Society Organizations working with 133 schools in 12 counties which are, Kiambu, Murang’a, Nyeri, Nakuru, Kisumu, Vihiga, Trans Nzoia, West Pokot, Laikipia, Meru, Tharaka Nithi and Machakos.
SCOPE Kenya promotes the establishment of food forest and environmental conservation in school across Kenya, through agro-ecological/permaculture practices. This is to address food& nutritional insecurity, environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity in the country.
The program supports school’s community in redesigning their land and establishment of sustainable productive systems, through a holistic school Integrated Land Use Design (ILUD) approach. SCOPE works through 16 organizations with 12 schools in 12 counties. The programs target beneficiaries include school pupils, teachers, parents and the entire community.
This initiative equips learners, teachers and their parents with knowledge and skills in organic gardening using environmentally friendly practices, soil and water management, waste management, crop rotation, companion planting and in integrated methods of pest management. Other areas includes food preparation and preservation through value addition as well as skills in agro-entrepreneurship skills to demonstrate income generation from agriculture.
SCOPE Kenya facilitates the establishment of agro ecology model schools which become centres of excellence and sources of information in the community.
The organization is a member of Regional Schools and Colleges Permaculture Programme (ReSCOPE), a network of SCOPE Country Chapters in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Uganda and Kenya. SCOPE Kenya also collaborates with Participatory Land Use Management (PELUM), Biodiversity and Biosafety Association (BIBA) and Kenya Organic Agriculture Network (KOAN) in Kenya.
Vision: Schools across Kenya being good learning examples of teacher-parent-student collaboration towards sustainable land use, leading to significant improvements in the environment, food security and livelihoods in the surrounding communities.
Mission: To transform schools into dynamic learning centers of sustainable land use in support of holistic community development.

SCOPE Malawi
The SCOPE Programme in Malawi was born out of the work of the ReSCOPE Programme and which in turn was born out of the work of SCOPE Zimbabwe. SCOPE Malawi was established to build the capacity of local organizations to facilitate sustainable land use in communities through schools. We also facilitate the sharing of experiences by partners who are working with school and college communities to build resilient and productive environments. The Programme helps interested partner organizations to use the Integrated Land Use Design (ILUD) process as a tool for school and college communities to develop multi-functional landscapes that help them to move towards food sovereignty, improved nutrition and more sustainable management of natural resources. When fully implemented, the ILUD process unfolds a startling transformation of lives and landscapes in pursuit of more sustainable living. The SCOPE Programme and its partners help people to establish food forests on previously dusty, bare land.
We are an organisation which uses the Integrated Land-Use Design (ILUD) process as a tool to assist schools to redesign their grounds in an ecologically sound manner with impressive results.
Vision: Quality of life in Malawian communities is improved.
Mission: To inspire and empower young people to end hunger and care for the Earth.
