Hello, I'm Timothy Okoth.
I am a consultant designer and non-profit founder. I am not so good at interacting socially, but I manage to make good friends around my neighborhood. My people call me Tim.
I wanted to major Painting in campus but the requirements were costly. I decided to major Computer Graphics because allI needed was a laptop - which I could borrow from a friend.
Cheers.
I double in as the consultant designer for Oak Nation, a brand consultancy based in Kisumu at a small space with 2 staff and other individuals who help on need basis. I am also the founder of Green Leaf Kenya, a community based organization in Oyugis, Homa Bay county that seeks to make Homa Bay a place where no child goes hungry, no family lives in poverty and people live in harmony with nature.
Branding requires resources - you get orders and most of the time you have to deliver then get paid. Walk-in clients are the set of clients that usually pay to get their services rendered.
I love when businesses can speak and stand for themselves. Proper branding and design makes businesses irresistible.
I am growing into a social entrepreneur and I'mhoping my profits can benefit the community through the CBO in Homa Bay. Together my community and I can live sustainably, in harmony with nature - and combating the harsh effects of climate change.
In my community, sand mining has left behind large stretches of barren land - dry, lifeless, and unable to support farming. The once fertile land is left in huge gulleys of waste. Families around these areas struggle with food insecurity and lack of opportunities, especially the youth and women. In fact, 3 weeks ago, a gentleman lost his life in one of the gulleys from a land collapse and killing him during the process of mining.
Through our REALI Project (Resilient Ecosystems and Agricultural Livelihoods Initiative), we are working to turn this story around by showing that even degraded land can sustain life again. The idea is simple - use vertical and climate-smart farming to recalim abandoned sand mines, grow food sustainably, and restore hope.
The funds will help me take this important frist step - transforming a small section of an abandoned land into a thriving garden, and planting the seeds of hope to makemy commmunity more resilient and sustainable.
Reclaiming wasteland to sustainable farms
