Enterprise projects
Topic: Social Environment • Subject: Environmental (Kenya)
What is an enterprise project? 🤝🌱
An enterprise project is a small business you can help with. It earns a little money and helps the environment.
You can do it at school, at home, or in the soko (market).
School Garden 🌿
Grow sukuma wiki (kale), spinach, carrots, and tomatoes.
Children can plant seeds, water plants, and sell vegetables to mama mboga or at the soko.
Helps: less food waste + healthy food
Tree Nursery 🌳
Grow baby trees (seedlings) in small bags. Sell or plant them in the community.
Choose local trees that help our land and birds.
Helps: shade, clean air and homes for birds
Recycling Crafts ♻️
Turn used bottles and paper into pens, flower pots or toys.
Sell the crafts at school fairs or to neighbours.
Helps: less litter and cleaner neighbourhoods
Compost Corner 🍂
Put kitchen peels and leaves in a compost pit. After a while, you get rich soil for the garden.
Sell some soil or use it to grow vegetables.
Helps: plants grow better, less rubbish
How to start — 5 easy steps 👣
- Ask a grown-up to help you. Always work with a teacher or parent.
- Choose a simple project (garden, seedlings, or crafts).
- Get seeds, soil, or old bottles. Use things you already have.
- Plant, water, or make crafts every day. Be patient and kind to plants.
- Sell at school or soko. Use the money to buy more seeds or share with family.
Safety and friendly tips ⚠️❤️
- Always have an adult with you when using tools or selling things.
- Wash your hands after touching soil or waste.
- Use water carefully — we must save water in dry seasons.
- Choose native trees and local vegetables that grow well in Kenya.
Little song for plants 🎵
"Water, sun, and lots of care, plants will grow and we will share!"

🌱
Start small. Even one seed helps. In Kenya, you can grow sukuma wiki, tomatoes or plant a tree for your village.
Ask your teacher or parent and enjoy your enterprise project!
