Tree Planting and Environmental Conservation Program

As part of its commitment to sustainability and climate action, NeGI has introduced the Tree Planting and Environmental Conservation Program. This initiative addresses widespread environmental degradation, deforestation, and water scarcity in counties like Makueni, Turkana, Nairobi, and Kisumu among others. These regions experience frequent droughts, floods, and soil erosion due to low tree cover and poor environmental stewardship. NeGI will mobilize schools, churches, homes, and local organizations to plant indigenous and fruit-bearing trees as a way of restoring ecosystems, enhancing food security, and increasing community resilience. In partnership with NEMA, KFS, and UNEP, NeGI will run “Adopt-a-Tree” campaigns, school greening programs, and community tree festivals. In arid and semi-arid areas like Turkana and parts of Makueni, the program will include the drilling of boreholes to provide sustainable access to clean water, especially for marginalized villages and school feeding programs. This will reduce the burden on women and children who walk long distances in search of water. Through these efforts, NeGI will help mitigate climate change, empower green champions, and contribute to Kenya’s national reforestation and water access goals.
