Deforestation and environmental degradation continue to threaten ecosystems across many parts of Kenya. Trees play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance by improving soil health, protecting water sources, and reducing the effects of climate change.

Communities in Machakos and surrounding areas have experienced the effects of environmental degradation through reduced rainfall, soil erosion, and declining agricultural productivity.

Through its environmental programs, EYWES works with youth groups, schools, and local communities to promote afforestation and environmental conservation.

Tree planting initiatives not only restore degraded land but also empower communities to take responsibility for protecting their natural environment. Young people are encouraged to participate in conservation efforts, creating a culture of environmental awareness and sustainability.

By planting trees today, we are investing in a healthier planet for future generations.
