Nation Media Group (NMG) and Family Bank Foundation teams braved the freezing cold morning weather and a light drizzle to plant trees in Ngong Hills in Kajiado County, during the inaugural Tree Planting day held on 13th November 2023.

Heeding the government’s call, NMG CEO Stephen Gitagama led his team in planting trees on a 10-acre plot in the Kona Baridi area.

Mr Gitagama lauded the step taken by the government in setting a specific day for growing trees, saying that it was an encouraging way of tackling climate change.

Family Bank Foundation Executive Director John Waimiri noted that there was no perfect time to plant trees in large numbers than the holiday that the government announced.
