Our Approach

“Solutions That Transform Lives and Protect Our Planet”

At Friends of the Environment (FOTE), we believe in creating sustainable solutions that empower communities while preserving our planet for future generations. Our approach is rooted in collaboration, innovation, and impact-driven actions.

Community-Centered Initiatives
We place communities at the heart of everything we do, conducting comprehensive baseline assessments to understand their unique needs and challenges. Through targeted advocacy and grassroots engagement, we co-create solutions that ensure inclusive participation and ownership of projects.

Evidence-Based Advocacy

Leveraging data-driven insights, including geo-tracking and rigorous assessments using tools like the KOBO Collect app, we inform policies and influence decision-making. Our commitment to reliable data strengthens the credibility of our work and its ability to drive systemic change.

Strategic Partnerships

Our impact is amplified through partnerships with government agencies, NGOs, private sector stakeholders, and influential individuals. By fostering these alliances, we address critical issues like clean energy adoption, environmental conservation, and youth empowerment with a united front.

Sustainability and Innovation

From transitioning households to cleaner energy sources to deploying solar-powered ICT centers in schools, our initiatives emphasize sustainability and technological innovation. We focus on practical, scalable solutions that deliver long-lasting benefits.

Capacity Building and Empowerment

Through workshops, training sessions, and awareness campaigns, we empower individuals—particularly women and youth—to become agents of change. By equipping them with knowledge and skills, we foster self-reliance and drive behavioral shifts toward sustainability.
