CS Barasa launches “Turudi Primo, Tudonate Fruit Trees” campaign for Mazingira Day on October 10, encouraging Kenyans to plant fruit trees at their former primary schools. This initiative aims to foster environmental restoration, food security, and community unity by linking tree growing with local livelihoods.

• Each primary school is expected to plant at least 2,000 fruit trees, with seedlings costing Sh150 each from the National Youth Service (NYS).
• The campaign is led by Environment Cabinet Secretary Deborah Barasa, alongside President William Ruto and other government officials.
• Kenya has already planted over one billion trees towards the goal of 15 billion trees and 30% tree cover, positioning the country as a continental leader in forest-based climate action.
