What we do

Pacha Mama Alliance Kenya Community Description
Micah Opondo is the founder and coordinator of Pacha Mama Alliance Kenya, a grassroots community-based organization (CBO) established in 2017 in Oyugis, Homa Bay County, Kenya.
Our journey began with a deep recognition that human activities are the primary drivers of ecological degradation. Motivated by the urgent need for collective action, we started by hosting Awakening the Dreamer Symposiums and tree-planting initiatives. What began with 1,500 trees in local schools has grown into a movement: over 150,000 trees planted across schools, public lands, and churches; more than 40 tree and fruit seed nurseries established for 42 groups; and transformative training reaching over 700 participants—primarily youth and families.
We stand for environmental stewardship, harmony, and sustainable development. Guided by values of interconnection, cooperation, and respect for Mother Earth (Pacha Mama), we promote ecological literacy, regenerative agriculture, permaculture, and community resilience. We believe in skillful alliances—partnering with schools, NEMA, youth groups, and international networks like ENO School Associates, where impact matters more than credit. At our core, we create a harmonious balance between human activity and nature through education, conservation, and community-driven action.
We envision a thriving, greener Homa Bay and Kenya where future generations inherit healthy lands, clean air, and empowered communities. We aspire to expand reforestation, climate education, sustainable livelihoods, and youth leadership so that every person becomes a “game changer” for our planet. Together, we are healing the Earth, one tree, one workshop, and one empowered voice at a time—building a just, peaceful and sustainable world rooted in Indigenous-inspired wisdom and local action.
Join us in this movement of hope and transformation. Small seeds create profound change.

Gaia Ashram Internship

The Pioneers of Gaia Ashram , 5th of July– 2nd of August 2015 The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process. Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops. Apart from the Gardening we will also will be doing some natural building which mostly will focus on creating natural finishes usi
