CSR ACTIVITIES

Beyond just the organization, we have tried to bring a culture of giving and sharing within our team members as well.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead

Even before eNyota Learning was born, the founders have always wanted it to be something more than just a business and give back to the community.

We, as an organization, operate in an ethical and sustainable way to deal with environmental and social impacts and causes. Our compassion and love for these causes is what has kept us going.

In 2014, eNyota Learning formulated a plan to institutionalize our responsibility as corporate citizens of our country and the world. We strive to consolidate the good intentions and efforts of all team members at eNyota to be able to make a meaningful impact.

These are a few causes we have taken up over the past few years:

After a quick and valuable demo on how to correctly plant trees, we started our mission. We formed groups for conducting various activities such as diggings the pits, carrying manure, and planting the saplings.
