OCCCAN Africa Ocean Literacy Initiative

Hello, I'm Julian Sitemba, co-founder of OCCAN Africa alongside my esteemed colleague Damaris Kinyua. As marine scientists deeply passionate about the conservation of our oceans, we've embarked on a transformative journey to ignite environmental stewardship among African youth. Our NGO collaborates closely with marine experts across Kenya, particularly in Mombasa, Kilifi, and Kwale, to share captivating ocean stories derived from cutting-edge research conducted in the Indian Ocean. 

Through immersive educational videos and courses, we aim to empower the next generation with a profound understanding of marine ecosystems and the urgent need for conservation. By fostering partnerships and leveraging insights from the forefront of marine science, OCCCAN Africa is not only disseminating knowledge but catalyzing a wave of change that will resonate for generations to come. 

At OCCAN Africa, we're on a mission to empower the next generation of environmental stewards through our Ocean Literacy Initiative. The Initiative is working towards forging formidable connections with marine professionals who traverse the majestic Indian Ocean. Through their captivating stories and firsthand experiences, we're bringing the wonders of the ocean to life, sharing tales of adventure, discovery, and conservation. With your generous support, we can produce engaging courses, videos, and educational materials that unravel the mysteries of our oceans and inspire action against climate change. Imagine a world where every child, regardless of background, has access to vital knowledge about our marine ecosystems.

Your donation fuels our mission to produce immersive courses, videos, and educational materials that empower the next generation of environmental stewards. From exploring coral reefs teeming with life to unraveling the mysteries of deep-sea creatures, our initiative opens doors to a world of discovery and learning. Together, we're not just educating minds; we're fostering a deep-rooted connection to our oceans, inspiring action and advocacy for their protection. Every contribution sets sail on a journey of impact, shaping a future where our oceans thrive and generations to come cherish their beauty and diversity.

Our levels of support start at $1 and go up to $5000.
