My name is Lenar and I joined A Rocha Kenya in 2021 under the Environmental Education department. My first posting was in Dakatcha, a place I first thought was really far. However, after several visits to schools that I worked with, I heard positive feedback from the teachers about how my visits brought so much change, not just, from how they viewed their environment but also because I was able to motivate students to aim for more and not give up in their education.

This response affirmed me and from there then I knew this was what I wanted to do. I am passionate about terrestrial and Marine environment as they are intertwined. I believe  enough damage has already been done to the environment and therefore i  hope to help find solutions and  restoration in whatever way i can.

During my free time i enjoy l swimming, travelling and reading.

Lenar took over as the lead Environmental Education Officer in 2023. She is now based in Watamu, primarily focusing on Marine Education.
