World Wetlands Day 2026-Mydo Point Kilifi Edition

Wetlands are among the most powerful yet most threatened ecosystems on our planet. They protect our coastlines, store carbon, purify water, support biodiversity, and sustain livelihoods — yet they continue to disappear at alarming rates due to climate change, pollution, and unsustainable human activity. In recognition of this global challenge, Mydopoint Kilifi Youth Group, a dynamic youth hub driven by innovation, environmental stewardship, and social entrepreneurship, will commemorate World Wetlands Day 2026 through a youth-centered, community-driven, and action-oriented programme in Kilifi County. While World Wetlands Day is officially marked on Monday, 2nd February, Mydopoint Kilifi has intentionally designed a two-part commemoration model to maximize youth and community participation: A class themed event where students will bring out their artistic prowess on the theme and a larger community event on the subsequent Saturday where community members will conduct a beach clean up activity in commemoration of the day.
