About Us
Discover our mission to protect marine life and uplift coastal communities through conservation, education, and local empowerment in Mtwapa, Kenya.
Our Story
Founded by passionate youth from Mtwapa, the Mtwapa Maweni Turtle Conservation Project began with a simple but powerful idea: that our coastal heritage must be protected not just for turtles, but for our people and future generations. What started as small beach patrols and awareness campaigns has grown into a recognized community movement engaging dozens of volunteers and community partners.
We are proud to be a youth-led organization that brings together locals from all walks of life: fishermen, students, mothers, and community leaders, to protect our beaches, seas, and biodiversity.
