Amani Kenya Youth Empowerment Organization, in collaboration with Marimani Secondary School and Excel Foundation, has launched a significant climate change action initiative in Kisauni Sub-county, Mombasa. The partnership aims to combat deforestation and promote environmental sustainability by establishing a seedlings nursery. This project empowers students and the community by providing hands-on education on tree planting, nurturing biodiversity, and reducing carbon footprints. Through this initiative, Amani Kenya is not only addressing climate change but also fostering a culture of environmental stewardship among the youth, encouraging them to take active roles in protecting their surroundings.
The seedlings nursery serves as a practical resource for greening the local area, offering a variety of indigenous and fruit tree species that contribute to the ecosystem’s resilience.
