Friends of TakaunguCreek is a Community Based Organization (CBO) - not-for-profit - (registration: SS/KFI/LR/CBO/KIK-D/3/2016) established by a few members of the community living near the creek and reefs of Takaungu , who have decided that time is running out for us to do our little part now to protect this unique and threatened ecosystem. We invite you to join us on this adventure to preserve and protect Takaungu Creek, the coastline, reefs and livelihoods of local fishermen.
Our Inspiration “The future depends on what we do today." Mahatma Gandhi “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin." Mother Teresa “In the end we conserve only that which we love. We love only that which we understand. We understand only that which we are taught.” Baba Dioum
Our Mission To value and protect the ocean, reefs and estuary, including the cliffs and beaches of Takaungu Creek by building an appreciation and understanding of the natural environment (fauna and flora) and heritage, promoting ecological practices that enhance livelihoods, restoring damaged habitats and preserving Takaungu Creek for present and future generations.
Our Vision An ecologically healthy creek habitat and a community that actively values and protects its ocean, its reefs, its estuary and its natural heritage and makes a sustainable use of the marine resources.
Our Funding We are funded by individuals from far and near with a passion to protect Takaungu Creek. We are always on a search for funding whether large or small, through proposals or donations.
