Rift Valley Conservation Center 

The Rift Valley Conservation Center (RCC) is a non-profit organization committed to conserving the unique ecosystems of the Rift Valley while empowering rural communities through education and sustainable development. Founded on the principles of science, inclusion, and local engagement, RCC operates as a hub for research, conservation action, and environmental learning. We believe that long-term conservation success depends on the well-being and knowledge of the people who live closest to nature. That’s why our work goes beyond protecting wildlife and habitats—we are also dedicated to expanding access to rural education, especially in underserved communities where environmental awareness can drive meaningful change. Our core focus areas include:

Biodiversity Conservation:

Safeguarding vulnerable species and habitats in the Rift Valley.

Access to Rural Education Program

The Access to Rural Education Program is a cornerstone of RCC’s mission to empower communities through knowledge and opportunity. Focused on underserved regions across the Rift Valley, this initiative bridges the education gap by delivering environmental learning and life skills to children and youth in rural areas.

 

Environmental Education:

Delivering education programs in rural schools and communities to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.

Community-Led Solutions:

Supporting locally driven initiatives that promote sustainable land use and conservation.

 

Scientific Research:

Conducting ecological studies to inform policy and guide practical conservation.

 

Policy Advocacy: Bridging science and government to protect fragile ecosystems through informed decision-making. RCC is a trusted partner for communities, schools, scientists, and policymakers working toward a shared vision: a thriving Rift Valley where nature and people coexist in harmony.

EDUCATION 

Education isn't just about facts; it's the cornerstone of a more inclusive and empowered society. It shapes minds, bridges divides, and cultivates essential skills. A world where every child has equal educational opportunities is a world that unlocks boundless potential and fosters positive change.
