Mobile Education Unit
Category: Mobile Education Unit | Date: Nov 07 2007 | By: admin
The Mobile Education Unit (MEU) has been and continues to be one of the most popular conservation education programmes of Wildlife Clubs of Kenya. It is an outreach programme that reaches Wildlife Clubs at grassroots level countrywide taking conservation messages in a lively and entertaining way. The MEU travels to schools in most parts of Kenya and in most cases remote areas of the country where electricity and water have yet to reach and poverty levels are highest.
Gabriel Ngale-The Mobile Education Unit Officer reports:
In the Month of October the Unit visited schools in the far flung areas of Nairobi region including Amboseli, Kiambu, Limuru, Ruiru and the Athi kapiti Plains. In a period of two weeks 14 schools and over 4,000 school children were reached. Hundreds of the children from these secluded schools in remote areas benefited from this free program. For the first time in their lives they were shown enticing films about wildlife. They also received some educational wildlife magazines to read. Gabriel gave talks on why and how to conserve wildlife as well as activities that can be started. Schools that form wildlife clubs have many priviledges including visiting Kenyas National Parks at no cost and they can get accommodation at Wildlife Clubs of kenya hostels in various National Parks.
The entire program was fun and educational and the school kids are calling for more of such programs.

Dear Camilla & Lina,
Hi! Sorry for this late reply. I’ve been in the field visiting schools in the entire month of January. Indeed I was in Southern Part of Kenya, the Namaga border and areas bordering Amboseli National Park. In these remote areas there is no internet, I couldn’t therefore get your messgae in good time. However I had a wonderful programme and the School children really enjoyed and learnt alot on wildlife conservation. I’ll be glad to meet, share and work with you.

Dear Sammy,
I’m happy to learn that you are pleased with what we are doing.Yes you can register your school Wildlife Clubs. Please visit our offices in Nairobi Langata and you will be issued with membership cards and the School Club Certificates. Right now I’m visiting Mt Kenya Region schools. In May 2008 I will be coming to Rift Valley Region Schools and Naivasha would be one of the prime areas I’ll visit. I’ll come with all the Wildlife Clubs registration materials for the schools. We can even link in making the Mobile Education Unit Programme for the Naivasha schools.
Kind Regards
Gabriel
