Our Story- A story of impact and Hope

Beyond The Trails Kenya was born out of a deep love for nature and a commitment to protecting the environment for future generations. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to go beyond conventional conservation efforts and reach communities in even the most remote areas, inspiring action where it matters most.

Our founder, Risper Asembo, grew up in a small village in western Kenya, where the beauty of nature sparked a lifelong passion for conservation. After years of working with both government and non-governmental organizations in wildlife management, climate action, and environmental education, she saw firsthand the urgent need for grassroots engagement in conservation. This realization led to the creation of Beyond The Trails Kenya—a platform dedicated to empowering communities, schools, and individuals to take meaningful steps toward sustainability.

From tree-growing initiatives and climate education in schools to clean energy advocacy and ecosystem restoration, our work continues to expand, driven by the belief that every small action contributes to a greater impact. Today, we stand as a dedicated team of environmentalists, volunteers, and change-makers working toward a future where people and nature thrive together.

Join us as we continue our journey to restore, protect, and advocate for a greener, healthier planet!
