FLOBF was established in 2011 by a group of local residents concerned about the condition of Lake Ol Bolossat and the surrounding ecosystem.
To undertake a holistic approach by mobilizing all stakeholders in an effort to save the lake from extinction.
To see an empowered community that live harmoniously with the lake as a natural resource and save it from extinction.
FLOBF has strategically established multipurpose tree nurseries in Rurii and Murungaru, Nyandarua County, as part of its broader environmental conservation and community livelihood improvement efforts.
Our nurseries have produced over 300,000 seedlings, including a diverse range of indigenous, commercial, and fruit tree species.
FLOBF’s “Adopt-a-Forest” initiative focuses on the reforestation of over 1,500 acres in the Kirima-Muruai Forest Block, an ecologically critical area within the Western Aberdares Escarpment.
This project is undertaken in collaboration with the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), Community Forest Association(CFA), local communities, and conservation stakeholders.
FLOBF recognizes that sustainable conservation efforts must be deeply rooted in community engagement. We have actively reached out to over 20 schools, 15 churches, and over 300 local farmers through extensive sensitization campaigns, on-farm trainings, and tree planting drives.
Friends of Lake Ol-Bolossat collaborates with the government, NGOs, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and other stakeholders to advocate for climate action through policy engagement, community education, and conservation initiatives.
