Preserve Our Roots is a Nigerian-based by-youth for-youth NGO and social activism movement that serves as an incubation hub for youth activism, focused mainly on raising awareness about climate change, social disparities and inequality. Preserve Our Roots supports youth-led change and motivates and mobilizes innovation and change through our climate education courses and camps, Educational Hub, social media presence, advocacy and local projects.
Rooted Resistance. Radical Growth. Real Time.
At Preserve Our Roots, our campaigns are interventions. They are grounded in ancestral wisdom, powered by youth-led innovation, and designed to build climate resilience from the ground up.
This space invites you to trace our journey — not as a straight line, but as a branching ecosystem of action. Each initiative reflects our belief that local voices must lead global change, and that environmental justice must be inseparable from dignity, equity, and healing.
From launching G.R.E.E.N Parks in flood-ravaged communities to reclaiming urban space through circular design and art, from leading climate education workshops to driving bold advocacy at the frontlines of policy — we are creating tangible, radical shifts. And we’re doing it together.
