The long rains are a blessing for Kenya, bringing life to the land and replenishing our water reserves.
But this season also presents a golden opportunity: a chance to combat deforestation and secure a greener future for all.
Kenya's forest cover stands at a meager 7.2%. The current rains provide the perfect conditions for large-scale tree planting.
Every tree planted today is an investment in cleaner air, improved water security, and a more vibrant ecosystem.
The government and the Kenya Forest Service are leading the charge, but this is a national effort.
Every Kenyan can make a difference by planting trees in their homes, farms, and communities. Seedlings are available, and the rains provide natural irrigation.
Let's not let this opportunity slip away. Let's embrace the spirit of Harambee and plant a tree for a thriving Kenya. The future generations will thank us for it.
Quote of the Day: “We have a moral duty to leave future generations a planet that is safe and sustainable.”
