Bel's Sustainability Project
BSP is a groundbreaking community initiative designed for young individuals aged 7 to 16 who face the risk of disengagement from formal education. As a pilot program, BPS is dedicated to providing students at Quaker Hill Academy, Kitale with an alternative educational pathway, focusing on digital incidental learning and environmental sustainability through permaculture training.
