Planning a CBC School Trip to Makueni County? Here Is Why Makoyo Village Should Be on Your List

Kenya’s Competency Based Curriculum is built on a simple but powerful premise: learning happens best when it is connected to real life.

Makoyo Village is real life.

A school visit to Makoyo Village is not a day out. It is a structured experiential learning session that touches multiple CBC learning areas in a single visit — through direct, hands-on participation rather than observation from a distance.

What CBC Schools Get at Makoyo Village:
🌱 Agriculture & Environment — Walk a working regenerative farm. Understand composting, intercropping, and water conservation in practice. See how a community dam works.
🦤 Wildlife & Biodiversity — Meet ostriches and emus. Learn about ratite biology and conservation. Understand the relationship between land management and wildlife.
💧 Water & Climate Resilience — Tour the Makoyo Integrated Water Safety System. See climate adaptation — moringa coagulation, biosand filtration, solar disinfection — working live.
🏛️ Cultural Heritage — Explore the Bantu Cultural Centre. Hear Akamba heritage stories. Connect traditional knowledge to modern community resilience.
🎨 Creativity & Arts — Pottery, painting, nature journaling, or digital storytelling sessions.
