Restoring oceans, reviving hope — one community, one hand, one action at a time.
Life in My Hands Initiative (LiMHi) is a youth-led movement dedicated to protecting our oceans and empowering coastal communities through grassroots advocacy, environmental education, and restorative action. We believe that every hand holds the power to heal our planet — starting from the shores.
Coastal Mapping for Action
Mapping Pollution, Empowering Communities. We’re using CyberGIS and community insights to map marine pollution hotspots in Lagos’ coastal communities — starting with Makoko, Epe and Badagry. This project merges local knowledge with tech to promote data-driven advocacy and civic accountability in areas most impacted by plastic and marine waste.
Marine Education in Schools
Raising the Next Generation of Ocean Stewards. We visit secondary schools to introduce students to marine conservation, climate resilience, and the vital role they play as coastal citizens. Through storytelling, games, and interactive sessions, we make ocean education accessible, fun, and unforgettable.
Waste-to-Wealth Transformation
Turning Trash into Treasure. This initiative empowers local artisans and youths to creatively upcycle waste materials into reusable products — from fashion accessories to eco-friendly household items. We’re proving that sustainable living can be both practical and profitable.
Cleanup Campaigns & Community Revivals
Restoring Our Shores, Together. Through hands-on cleanups, sensitization drives, and partnerships with local leaders, we reclaim polluted shorelines and restore dignity to neglected communities. Our Makoko Waterfront Revival is just one example of people-powered restoration in action.
Youth Mobilization & Volunteer Network
Hands That Heal the Ocean. LiMHi runs a growing volunteer network of young changemakers who champion our mission in their communities. From organizing local drives to leading education sessions, these youth are our boots on the ground — and hearts in the fight.
Advocacy & Policy Engagement
From Coastal Voices to Policy Tables. We engage policymakers, researchers, and environmental stakeholders to amplify community concerns, advocate for inclusive policies, and ensure that solutions are built with — not just for — the people most affected by marine pollution.
Featured Causes
These causes represent the heart of our mission — restoring oceans, empowering communities, and turning challenges into opportunities for lasting impact.
Protecting Coastal Communities from Pollution
We work with vulnerable waterfront communities like Makoko and Badagry to tackle marine pollution through cleanups, education, and data-driven mapping. Every action we take is about restoring ecosystems and protecting livelihoods.
Empowering Youth for Ocean Action
Through school programs, volunteer mobilization, and leadership opportunities, we’re raising a generation of ocean defenders who understand the power of their voice, their hands, and their choices.
Promoting Waste Circularity and Local Innovation
From waste-to-wealth training to upcycling demonstrations, we’re helping people transform plastic waste into economic and sustainable solutions — one community, one idea at a time.
