About NatureFy

We are the environment project of the Adriel Society for Youth and Environment helping young Nigerians understand how their cities shape their lives and how they can shape their cities in return.

Our Vision

A future where young Nigerians are active stewards of their cities — grounded in belonging, equipped with knowledge, and empowered to co-create climate-resilient urban futures.

Our Story

NatureFy began with a simple recognition:

Young people are already experiencing climate change and urban challenges every day — heat, flooding, waste, transportation, stress, and the feeling of being disconnected from the places we live.

But our voices are rarely centered in shaping how our cities evolve.

So we built a community that:

  • visibility Notices everyday urban life with curiosity.
  • forum Makes space for honest dialogue.
  • handshake Acts locally to improve climate and wellbeing conditions where we live, learn, and gather.

Why NatureFy Matters

We work with young people to understand the city differently — not just as buildings and roads, but as a living environment that shapes how we feel, move, and belong.

When you join us, you're joining a community that believes:

  • eco Cities should work with nature, not against it.
  • record_voice_over Young voices matter in re-imagining urban futures.
  • groups Change is possible when we learn, create, and act together.
