The drought continues in Kenya and through the green belt of Africa which is a huge motivator for the Massai communities to continue to plant trees. The valley where we collaborate with clans in Enkutoto Nahalala is special because it still offers a somewhat healthy habitat with some trees to create shade and activate the water cycle. Purchasing fruit trees from small nurseries in nearby Nairobi has proven successful when we give them directly to families and pay themt oc are for the trees aroudn their homes. It is necessary to water them regularly after planting and this is par tof the work we like to pay the women to execute.
Rains are starting in Kenya and we will be supporting the trees we already planted together as well as organizing to plant more this year 2022. Hopefully the long rains will nourtish them and give them a good start for our growing silvo pastoral systems there.
We hold the hopewith you to keep planting trees to solve the root of the broken hydrological cycle which is deforestation. The more trees we can plant and grow to maturity on the Equator the better chance we have for halthy rain and snow cuycles all around the globe. Thank you for your continued support. Evewry tree makes a difference.
