About us
The next chapter builds on this foundation:
 combining agroforestry, community education, and wildlife-friendly farming to restore balance between people and nature.
Our Vision
From monoculture to mosaic — reviving ecosystems, soil health, and biodiversity.
Designing landscapes that grow food, sequester carbon, and provide habitat.
As founders of Makini Schools, the Okelo family brings decades of teaching expertise to empower the next generation of environmental stewards.
A centre for youth programmes, school visits, and shared learning.
Home to dairy herds and ostriches that welcome school visits, alongside the rich life of the forest and grasslands.
Why It Matters
The Mary Okelo Conservancy is a seedbed of recovery:
Restoring a landscape in the heart of western Kenya.
Creating corridors for wildlife and spaces for people to learn.
Demonstrating that farming, forests, and futures can thrive together.
Coming Soon
Our full website launches 6 October 2025.
 It will share more about our projects, partners, and how you can get involved.
