About Me

My name is Silas Ooko ,I hold diploma in Certificate in environmental science from Egerton University and planning to pursue a degree in future once I make enough savings. I was Born and raised in Kisumu town to the late Michael ooko and Esther Ooko. I was not lucky to celebrate my 10th birthday with my parents as they had succumbed to unknown ailments which I was later told was HIV. Orphaned at tender age I grew up with my uncle and after competing secondary school ,my aunt who never liked me all along told me I was a grown up and I had to move back to our home. I found out that all tree my dad had planted had been cut down and turned into charcoal,i was so furious but just decided to plant more trees,I plant more and more trees. These is when I realized I had passion in environment conservation. I started selling seedlings to earn living and promote environmental conservation.I released I could do more and with the savings from the sell of seedlings I started selling energy saving bulbs. I have since expanded my shop and selling solar lamps and energy saving bulbs. I earn a living and fulfil my dreams of a better environment.

I like planting trees and during my free time I am either planting trees or educating youths on importance's of environment conservation.
