On 06/15/2024, Kwetu Yetu CBO offered a partnership to St Thomas Girls, Kilifi, to a variety of training and mentorship to the students about climate change. St Thomas Girls, Kilifi is a participant in the president’s award and they were launching their 250,000 tree planting activity on 06/15/2024. At the event, our representatives, Rael Nelly, and Julia Wahome made networks with people of similar agendas including the President Award Team, Plan international amongst others

I joined St Thomas girls, Kilifi as they launched the president’s award project where they plan to grow 250,000 assorted seedlings in Kilifi county. When the vision bearers are young and their mentors have rich experience the project sustainability is guaranteed. It was a very insightful event and we look forward to introducing the school in to the waste management program.

In a statement, The President’s Award-Kenya said ” Involving schools and communities to achieve and strengthen sustainable tree planting and climate change adaptation; that is the project by Award participants from St. Thomas Girls Secondary School in Kilifi county a program envisaged to serve Kilifi County.

The amazing participants took action to combat climate change and protect our planet. The inspirational young people rolled up their sleeves for a massive tree-planting drive in their local community. They worked tirelessly to ensure each new tree was given the best possible start. From digging holes to carefully positioning the young trees, it was a fantastic team effort!

The participants hope to plant and grow 25,000 tree species in different communities and schools in three years. This will include fruit trees and other tree species to improve the green cover and mitigate the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

We are so proud of the commitment of the young participants to environmental conservation and can’t wait to see the positive impact of their hard work for years to come. Let’s give a huge round of applause to these eco-warriors!
Well done to all involved in this incredible initiative. Your actions are an inspiration to us all. “
