Environmental responsibility is the duty that a business or an individual has to perform in a way to keep the environment safe. This include but not limited to:

• waste management;
• conservation of natural resources;
• complying with environmental legislation;
• prevention of pollution

It is the responsibility of each one of us in the society to safeguard our mother nature. Any harm done to the environment, the effects are felt by everyone in the society. For instance, the effects of climate change are being felt everywhere by everyone on earth. It therefore calls for personal environmental responsibility.

In this area, Palscity Foundation seeks to be on the forefront in championing for general Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability programs in the society.

Our key objectives on the environment are:

• To Promote Natural Resources Conservation
• To Secure a Clean and Healthy Environment
• To enable members of the society, have sense of total environmental responsibility

This shall be achieved through two main ways namely:

• Environmental capacity building and empowerment community programs
• Leading and mobilizing in environmental pollution and waste management and afforestation activities

There are four major programs under this:

1. Climate change and Sustainable Development
2. Sustainable Waste Management, Environmental pollution management and control
3. Afforestation and Natural Resource Conservation
4. Environmental Policy Development and Planning and Environmental Advocacy. 

Agriculture and Food Security

Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals, and happiness. Through agriculture, one creates an independent mindset. This is the spirit Palscity Foundation is set to instill in mostly the youth in our society. Investing in agriculture through the help of the modern technology will enable youth to become independent and focused citizens who will be able to create wealth out of their own efforts and in turn contribute to economic growth and limit violence and criminal activities in the society. Palscity Foundation will work hand in hand with various stakeholders in order to provide market for farm produce through the e-commerce platform that gives opportunity to the youth

Climate Change and Sustainable Development.

Climate Change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time. It is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have been identified as primary causes of ongoing climate change, often referred to as global warming. The term “climate change” is often used to refer specifically to anthropogenic climate change also known as global warming. Anthropogenic climate change is caused by human activity, as opposed to changes in climate that may have resulted as part of Earth’s natural processes.
In this sense, especially in the context of environmental policy, the term climate change has become synonymous with anthropogenic global warming. Within scientific journals, global warming refers to surface temperature increases while climate change includes global warming and everything else that increases greenhouse gas levels effect. The main long-term impacts of climate change include: Changing rainfall patterns affecting agriculture and reducing food security; Worsening water security; Decreasing fish resources in large lakes due to rising temperatures; Increasing vector-borne diseases; Rising sea levels affecting low-lying Coastal areas with large populations; and Increasing water stress.
This program works to ensure a clear understanding that Climate Change is a major source of impediment to Sustainable Development and device appropriate ways of response to climate change in Africa and the whole globe. At the same time the program will focus on the dual relationship between sustainable development and climate change. Climate Change influences key natural and human living conditions and therefore forming the basis for sustainable development, while on the other hand, society’s priorities on sustainable development influence both the Green House Gas emissions that are causing climate change and the vulnerability, the program is keen on the need for the exploration of policies that jointly address Sustainable Development and Climate Change

Sustainable Waste Management Environmental Pollution management and control Program

This program works to ensure that each one of us takes responsibility on all waste produced. The program is guided by the principle that waste is not only the responsibility of someone who moves it around or who manages or disposes it. The program reviews and defines various types and levels of waste management and their respective responsibilities. It also works towards managing the environment to prevent and control pollution. Pollution is the contamination of the environment which causes adverse change. Living in areas of high pollution has serious long term health effects. People of all ages who live in high pollution areas for extended periods place themselves at increased risk of various neurological disorders. Pollution control is necessary without which the waste products from consumption, heating, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, transportation and other human activities, whether they accumulate or disperse, will degrade the environment. In the hierarchy of controls, pollution prevention and waste minimization are more desirable than pollution control. The areas under this program are largely categorized as;

• Effluent Waste Management.
• Space Pollution Management & Control
• Electro Pollution Management & Control
• Effect of Radiation Pollution
• Visual Pollution Management & Control
• Soil Pollution Management & Control
• Noise Pollution Management & Control
• Air Pollution Management & Control
• Water Pollution Management & Control

If your actions inspire others to dream big, learn more, do more and become more, then you are a leader.

Palscity Foundation is a platform that believes in every individual being a leader in their own capacity. We intend to empower especially the youth, to be able to lead and also enable the public to monitor great work done by their leaders through documentation of their timeline stories and scorecard.

Cultural vitality is the creating, disseminating, validating, and supporting arts and culture as a way of everyday life in communities. People around the world had a range of cultural activities with different in significance. Non-profit organizations, Commercial, Public, Private and even Informal venues and opportunities for cultural engagement is essential to create the continuum of participation that enables robust arts practice and consumption, both amateur and professional. In addition to conventional cultural venues such as museums, theaters, concert halls and permanent facilities such as libraries, community centers, and parks where arts and culture happen often on a sustained basis, such temporary venues and events as festivals, parades, arts markets, and even farmers’ markets are important aspects of a community’s cultural landscape, particularly when these events are recurrent. Churches and ethnic-specific associations and organizations, and sometimes even business establishments, such as restaurants and bars that cater to particular ethnic groups, play important roles in both sustaining and advancing ethnic specific artistic practices. There is necessity of paying attention to the many different kinds of organizations that exist and the specific roles they play in fostering different aspects of cultural vitality in communities. Such organization are; nonprofits, public, and private/commercial; those with large, mid-sized and small budgets; those that are concerned primarily with the presentation of professional artwork; those that are artist-focused and critical to professional artists’ careers; those that seek to preserve tangible and intangible history and culture; those that seek to enable the invention of new forms of artistic and creative expression; and those that seek to advance and validate both amateur and professional arts practice. Non-profit organizations are key catalysts for both amateur and professional arts practice and collaborate with a range of arts and non-arts organizations as part of their programming and are important for a community-based or community-oriented cultural events, such as recurrent festivals. Palscity Foundation seeks to be the major venue for both amateur and professional arts and cultural practice by creating short-term and episodic cultural venues and events such as festivals, parades, or arts and craft physical and online markets. Palscity Foundation has given priority to the following events being planned by their program coordinators, as a way of promoting and supporting the Cultural Vitality Pillar;

Gender and Equality

We have begun to raise daughters more like sons… but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters! Palscity Foundation intends to promote equality when it comes to gender related issues in order to provide equal opportunity for both genders and also be able to understand the sufferings of each group and get solutions to the challenges they face.

Health and Nutrition

Maintaining good health should be the primary focus of every one of us. According to Kenya Vision 2030 goals, Kenya’s health sector is expected to grow at a more accelerated pace than the economy. However, there are areas that need to be addressed in order to achieve the desired goals. Palscity Foundation strives to point out these areas of concern and come up with ways in which solutions can be created.

Education

Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. Palscity Foundation aims at shaping education in the society in order to improve lives since we believe that an investment in knowledge pays the best interest. The platform is set to reach out to the interior parts of the country and mobilize communities to give education a priority and we will also ensure that challenges faced in acquiring knowledge are addressed and solved.

Peace and Conflict Management

Peace is not absence of conflict; it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means. Palscity Foundation aims at empowering the society to be peace ambassadors and to always promote peaceful co-existence in the society. Most counties have experienced violence especially during elections because youth are misused politically making them to be at the frontline in throwing stones and causing chaos. Palscity Foundation intends to change this narrative.
