CSR & conservation
Technology for people and the planet.
Kenya's rivers, wetlands and forests are part of what makes growth possible. Through our CSR department, we put our skills, time and resources behind the communities and ecosystems we all depend on.
Our CSR department
One team coordinating the work
Our CSR department coordinates Zeta Hub's conservation programmes: those we run ourselves and those we deliver with community groups, conservation organisations, schools, institutions and other stakeholders.
It plans our calendar of activities, from World Environment Day and World Wetlands Day to community clean-ups and tree planting, brings our team and partners together for each one, and connects organisations that need technical support with the people who can give it.
World Wetlands Day 2026
Back to the riverbank
On 2 February 2026, World Wetlands Day, Zeta Hub joined community groups, youth organisations and local partners to restore the banks of the Gathara-ini River. We were proud to be one of the organisations supporting the day.
Our team worked alongside volunteers to clear litter from the riverbank and plant seedlings that will help hold the soil, filter the water and bring life back to the river's edge. This year's global theme, "Wetlands and Traditional Knowledge: Celebrating Cultural Heritage", was a reminder that communities have always cared for their rivers, and that the work goes furthest when everyone takes part.

Our focus areas
Where we put our effort
- Rivers, wetlands & trees Joining clean-ups and tree planting with community and conservation groups, and supporting the organisations that look after these places all year round.
- Digital skills for all Free and low-cost training that gives young people, technicians and community groups practical digital and networking skills.
- Greener technology Energy-efficient network design, equipment that lasts, and responsible handling of old and broken electronics.
Why it matters
Growth that does not cost the environment
Technology can do a great deal for conservation: it connects the people protecting land and water, helps communities monitor their environment, and carries environmental education further. It also has a footprint of its own, from energy use to electronic waste.
Our commitment is to do both sides well: to reduce the footprint of the systems we build, and to give our skills and time to the people working to protect Kenya's natural heritage.
