What can a dream become when given the right platform and a willing hand?

Through its Livelihoods & Opportunities pillar, Back to Basics supports young people to turn their skills and ideas into real opportunities.

Fuzara Technologies is one example—turning skills in technology, media production and drone services into a growing youth-led venture.

Because sometimes, young people don’t need someone to build the future for them. They need the opportunity to build it themselves.

From Skills to Self-Reliance: Agatha’s Story

What started as a simple idea has grown into a story of resilience, determination, and transformation.

As a member of Back to Basics (BTB), Agatha received training and support , equipping her with much more than confidence to turn her idea into Wanjamu Multipurpose Homemade Cleaners, a home-based enterprise.

Today, her business provides a source of income and demonstrates the power of practical skills to create meaningful opportunities and strengthen livelihoods.

Agatha’s journey reflects the heart of BTB’s mission—to support individuals with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities they need to build self-reliance, strengthen economic resilience, and create positive change in their lives.

Her story is a reminder that when people are given the right support and the opportunity to put their skills into action, a simple idea can grow into something that creates lasting impact.

One skill. One enterprise. One empowered life at a time.

Join Back to Basics in creating opportunities that enable communities to build, grow, and thrive.

When you hear “crocheting,” what comes to mind?

A hobby?
A beautiful handmade product?
A way to earn an income?

What if it could also mean wellbeing, creativity, community—and a more sustainable way of making?

At BTB, we are discovering the possibilities, one stitch at a time.

What if every school had a green space that inspired learning, nurtured nature, and empowered the next generation of environmental stewards?

At Back to Basics (BTB), we partner with schools and institutions to transform underutilized spaces into thriving green environments where students learn by doing—planting trees, caring for nature, and developing a lifelong commitment to environmental stewardship.

Because sustainability isn’t just something we teach—it’s something we practice.

Together, we can create greener campuses, healthier communities, and lasting environmental impact.

What does it take to turn an idea into a growing enterprise?

For the CleanStart team, it started with determination, practical skills, and the right support.

Through Back to Basics (BTB)’s Livelihoods & Enterprise Development pillar, the team has received enterprise support, mentorship, and guidance to help grow their post-construction cleaning business—creating income while contributing to cleaner, healthier communities.

Their journey reflects BTB’s integrated approach, where Livelihoods & Enterprise Development, Circular Economy Solutions, and Environmental Action & Greener Communities work together to create opportunities that benefit both people and the environment.

Building sustainable livelihoods. Creating greener communities.

Delighted to host Delene Williams during her visit to Nairobi, all the way from Durban, SA

Thank you, Delene, for taking the time to visit us, share your insights, and encourage us as we continue shaping our vision for a Climate Innovation Lab.

Your perspective, reflections, and encouragement were truly valuable as we explore what this space could become and how it can contribute to practical climate action and community-led innovation.

Grateful for the connection, the conversation, and the encouragement to keep the vision moving forward.

Did you know?
A significant amount of recyclable plastic ends up in landfills because it is not separated from other waste at the source.

This Plastic Free July, let’s remember that small actions can lead to meaningful change. By separating plastics from other waste, we make recycling easier, reduce pollution, and contribute to cleaner, healthier communities.

At Back to Basics (BTB), we’re encouraging communities to embrace waste segregation at source and take practical steps towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.

Small actions. Collective impact. Let’s make every choice count.
