🌱 GREEN REWARDS OVERVIEW - INTRODUCTION

The Green Rewards Programme is a Students Army initiative that recognizes and encourages environmental action by rewarding students who actively protect nature and improve their communities.
Instead of rewarding academic performance alone, the programme celebrates real environmental impact. Every tree planted, every river cleaned, every kilogram of waste recycled, and every climate action completed earns recognition and contributes to a greener Kenya.

The Vision

To inspire millions of students to become lifelong environmental champions by transforming climate action into a rewarding, measurable, and community-driven movement.

The Mission

To motivate young people to protect forests, conserve water, restore ecosystems, reduce pollution, and promote sustainable living through meaningful incentives and public recognition.
