SEEK’S VISION
A transformed greater Suba where God’s love reigns and the environment flourishes with creation under the perfect stewardship of man

MISSION
To bring God’s kingdom to a greater Suba and attain sustainable development through biblical environmental stewardship.

Suba Environmental Education of Kenya is a Kenyan NGO, funded through Kenya Islands Mission, Inc., a Tennessee State Corporation 501 (c)( 3), founded in 1996 in response to requests of local Kenyans for assistance in addressing their distressing environmental degradation. We are located in greater Suba, along the shores of Lake Victoria.

S.E.E.K. is a grass roots organization which believes that change can only be sustainable from the bottom up as the people themselves understand their problems and initiate and implement solutions. Real abundant life comes through the gospel of Jesus Christ and the faith, hope and love He brings.

S.E.E.K. (K.I.M.) networks with the government and other organizations for optimal results.

SEEK has 13 acres on the shores of Lake Victoria in Western Kenya. These include organic demonstration gardens, a tree nursery, aviary, an ecological trail, camp with six cabins, pavilion, dining hall, dormitory, staff houses, and an Education Center/Museum.
