Our impact

The UOCEAN 2050 Academic Programme is designed to empower young minds with the knowledge and skills necessary for effective ocean conservation. Through engaging curricula that emphasize marine science, sustainability, and environmental stewardship, we provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges facing our oceans today. Our program features interactive workshops, hands-on activities, and community projects that foster critical thinking and inspire action. By collaborating with local schools, we have already educated over 147 students, equipping them to become informed advocates for ocean health in their communities and beyond.

Beach clean-ups are a cornerstone of UOCEAN 2050’s efforts to combat plastic pollution and protect marine ecosystems. Organized by our dedicated team, these clean-ups not only help remove litter from our coastlines but also raise awareness about the impact of plastic waste on marine life. Participants—ranging from local community members to corporate volunteers—join us in collecting debris, sorting waste, and learning about the importance of reducing plastic usage. Each clean-up serves as an opportunity to educate volunteers on the broader implications of pollution while fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility for our oceans.

In our commitment to sustainability and community development, UOCEAN 2050 is proud to lead initiatives that transform recovered plastics into functional resources for local schools. By repurposing plastic waste collected during our beach clean-ups, we have successfully built essential structures, such as kitchens and walls, for schools in the Mombasa region. This innovative approach not only addresses the issue of plastic pollution but also provides vital infrastructure to support education. Each construction project serves as a tangible example of how we can turn environmental challenges into opportunities for growth, ensuring that our efforts contribute positively to the communities we serve.
