NCBA has today partnered with Baboon Project Kenya for a tree planting drive across Nakuru. The initiative is part of NCBA’s commitment to environmental sustainability including combating climate change, enhancing biodiversity, and restoring natural landscapes in Kenya and in line with this year’s World Environment Day theme: Focusing on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience.

The Baboon Project Kenya is a conservation initiative that was established in 2021 in Nakuru Kenya and in collaboration with Kenya Forest Service. The initiative in partnership for the Green School Program is designed to conserve the environment in line with the Climate Change Act,2016 (No. 11 of 2016), with particular emphasis on schools and communities around them. The program focuses on tree planting to increase students’ awareness of the importance of trees and promote tree planting.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Baboon Project Kenya on this significant tree-planting initiative. I’m particularly inspired by the enthusiasm and participation of our young people. Their commitment to growing and nurturing these trees reflects a profound sense of responsibility and demonstrates the role they can play in protecting our planet. Through the planting of these 10,000 tree seedlings, we aim to make a tangible contribution to Kenya’s natural heritage and sow the seeds of a sustainable and resilient future for generations to come. We look forward to having this initiative across at least 50 schools in Nakuru County and thereafter to scale it up to other schools across the country” Said Mr. John Gachora, Group Managing Director, NCBA.
