WELCOME TO THE KINSHIP PROGRAMME
Our vision is to foster a generation deeply connected to nature, who understand their role within the Earth's intricate ecosystem and are inspired to champion conservation and sustainable living. We envision a world where empathy and consciousness drive our interactions with all living creatures, creating a harmonious and thriving planet.
We only care about that which we know.
And so, if our children are to care about the earth, they need to know her.

Each of our initiatives play a specific role in contributing towards achieving our vision of a connected community.
-
Kinship provides mindfully crafted nature experiences that hopefully progress each individual child's state of nature connectedness.
-
Through Hyphae we reach many children and teachers in underserved community Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centres; providing the children with meaningful and engaging environmental education and the teachers with training and mentorship in bringing the environment into the classroom.
-
Our nature facilitator training shares our understanding of how to best facilitate the development of nature connectedness and thus equips more people with the ability to facilitate experiences and bring more little humans into a closer relationship with our natural world.
-
Our immersive journeys create a space for reflection, acknowledgement and service.
Community Initiatives
