1 Million Trees for Kilifi

One Million Trees for Kilifi” is a groundbreaking initiative focused on environmental restoration and community empowerment in Kilifi County. The project aims to plant one million trees across schools, public spaces, and degraded lands to combat deforestation, mitigate the impacts of climate change, and improve food security. By integrating the creation of school orchards, the initiative not only enhances green cover but also provides nutritious fruits and shaded spaces for students, creating a healthier and more conducive learning environment. This initiative is driven by the active participation of local communities, schools, and environmental enthusiasts who are dedicated to creating a sustainable future. Through workshops and training sessions, community members are equipped with skills in tree care, conservation, and sustainable practices, fostering a deep sense of ownership. Despite challenges such as limited funding, unpredictable weather, and low community awareness, the initiative has made significant strides, planting 500,000 trees, establishing 20 school orchards, and engaging over 5,000 individuals in conservation efforts. “One Million Trees for Kilifi” is more than just a tree-planting campaign—it’s a commitment to building a greener, more resilient future for generations to come.
