Together for Trees, Together for Tomorrow
On Friday, 10th October at 9:00 AM, KEAN International will proudly join 10,000 people planting 10,000 trees at Alliance High School for this year’s Mazingira Day. This massive effort is more than a symbolic gesture; it’s a community-led response to the urgent need for restoring Kenya’s wetlands and river ecosystems.
We’re inviting all KEAN International members, their friends and their families to be part of this day. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the KEAN International spirit, strengthen community bonds and make a direct contribution to environmental renewal.
Why KEAN International Is Joining
At KEAN International, sustainability is more than a value; it’s a responsibility. Our participation in Mazingira Day reflects our conviction that collective action is the most powerful force for change. Wetlands and river ecosystems are vital lifelines: they filter water, protect biodiversity and buffer communities against climate shocks such as drought and flooding.
By planting trees together, we help restore these ecosystems, supporting not just the environment but also the communities that depend on them for clean water, food security and resilience.
Building Community Through Action
This event is also about people. When members, friends, and families gather side by side, planting seedlings and sharing stories, the bonds formed are lasting. It’s a rare chance to connect outside the workplace and align around a shared purpose, leaving behind not just planted trees but also strengthened relationships.
