Making real impacts in Kenya
Energy Conservation
Trees for Kenya supports energy conservation projects primarily by promoting the use of energy-saving stoves aimed at reducing the consumption of fuelwood and the emission of black carbon.
Greening Schools
Trees for Kenya supports greening schools programs by working with schools across the country to nurture environmental awareness and action among students and teachers.
Farm Forestry
Trees for Kenya supports farm forestry primarily through promoting agroforestry systems that integrate trees onto smallholder farms to improve soil health, productivity, and livelihoods.
Forest Restoration
Trees for Kenya has been actively involved in ambitious forest restoration projects in Kenya and the Mount Kenya region.
Trees for Kenya impacts to farmers.
Trees for Kenya supports farmers through a comprehensive agroforestry project which helps farmers transition to sustainable farming systems by planting between 200-350 trees per farm over 2-3 years, depending on farm size and farmer capacity. This project addresses challenges like climate change, low productivity, limited access to resources, and poor financial security by equipping farmers with knowledge, planting materials, and ongoing training focused on tree species selection, farm management, value addition, and marketing.
The impacts for farmers include increased resilience to climate change, improved soil structure and fertility, diversified and increased income , greater nutritional intake, and enhanced agricultural productivity and biodiversity.
