UPCOMING PROJECTS.
Ocean Sole is committed to increasing our conservation and social impact year over year! And 2024 is bound to be our greatest yet as we embark on many new foundational pillars in our impact, like our commitment to mangrove planting along the Kilifi coastline, our safeguarding of turtle hatchlings through our TurtleSAFE program, and our official registration of Ocean Mamaz which will allow our social impact to widen as we support new groups.
We are committed to our vibrant passion for our people and the planet and we couldn't do it without the support of our Ocean Solemates like you!
Mangrove
Planting
Kilifi, Kenya
In Kilifi, our partnership with The Leaf Project resulted in the successful planting of over 5000 mangroves in 2023, bolstering efforts to safeguard coastal biodiversity. Our plans are to triple our efforts in 2024.
​
Mangroves are the foundation for life for upwards of 70% of marine life. The branching treetops provide shelter for birds to nest and raise their young, and the tangled arching roots of the red mangrove provide habitat for fish to hide from predators
TurtleSAFE Program
Kilifi, Kenya
In August 2023, our commitment to marine conservation reached new heights as we secured permission from the KWS Marine Conservation Department to initiate a turtle watch program.
This milestone paved the way for our inaugural successful egg relocation on December 26th, 2023, marking a crucial step in safeguarding and nurturing the vulnerable stages of turtle life.
Ocean Sole Mamaz
Kilifi, Kenya
Fifteen dedicated women from Kilifi have
collaborated with Ocean Sole for over a
decade. 2023 marked a significant
milestone as we officially registered them
as the Ocean Sole Mamaz.
In 2024 this initiative aims to extend its reach along the coast by registering additional groups. By formalizing their status as a self-help group, these women gain access to essential resources such as bank accounts and loans, empowering them to better care for themselves and foster sustainable growth.
