Meet Paul Muthoni, a passionate educator, visual artist, and climate advocate based at Chieko ECDE in Nairobi. Known artistically as Pablo (Artvpablo), Paul is the visionary behind Greenvibes—a learner-led climate change project that’s using the power of art and education to raise environmental awareness among young children and their communities.

🎨 About the Project: Greenvibes, a learner-led climate change project that uses

Greenvibes was born out of a need to address pressing issues facing learners in Nairobi—limited access to climate education, exposure to air and noise pollution, and a lack of green learning spaces. Paul saw an opportunity to use visual arts and hands-on engagement as tools for climate action.

What started as a small initiative has now impacted:

• 230 learners

• 10 teachers

• And the broader community

🌍 Cross-Border Collaboration

The project’s milestones have been supported by a growing network of local and international stakeholders, including:

• The County Government of Nairobi

• Community members

• And global partners such as Teach For Portugal, Teach For Niger, Teach For Senegal, Teach For Chad, Teach For Somalia, Teach For Mauritania, and Teach For All

🌱 Core Program Areas

Under Paul’s leadership, Greenvibes is transforming the way learners interact with their environment through:

• Climate Education Workshops

• Greenspace Creation

• Climate-Themed Visual Arts

• Interactive Climate Fun Days

“As an artist and educator, I’ve always believed that creative expression can drive meaningful change,” says Paul. “Greenvibes has proven that when we give learners the tools—and the stage—they rise to the occasion and lead with passion and purpose.”
