A Grade 7 student at Blair Educational Centre, Kisumu, has emerged as the grand winner of the Little Message Environment Kenya competition.
About the Peace Bilha award
His instructor, Musa Ondu, told TUKO.co.ke that this recognition places him among the local youth with great promise in the defense of the environment.
Musa briefly explained Bilha’s journey, noting that it was born of education and purpose, being brought up at KIMUTA Talent Academy.
Those who knew him closely have described him as a child who understands that change begins with small, consistent actions, and that is how he was able to turn his passion into organized advocacy.
Beyond the competition stage, Bilha is already leading by example.
As a passionate climate change activist and ambassador for girls, she runs her projects through the Sero Foundation.
“He uses this platform to motivate his fellow children and community members, starting from organizing cleaning activities, participating in tree planting, and defending environmental conservation at the community level,” Moses said.

Also, girls’ welfare issues are important to him.
Through her educational efforts, Bilha works closely with young girls to promote awareness of menstrual health, breaking the silence on a topic that often prevents many from going to school.
By combining environmental sustainability with the empowerment of girls, she has positioned herself as a strong and compassionate voice for social change for society as a whole.
For Kisumu County, Bilha Sero’s victory is not only a crown, but a reminder that leadership can emerge early, and that the future of environmental and social advocacy can be in the hands of children who dare to care.
