@KeNHAKenya spare us the lies. It's been how many years since Waiyaki way was commissioned? Show us how many trees you have Replanted back? Tutafanya...Tutatenga...Tutakamilisha...baada ya miezi 6 and other funny stories

@KeNHAKenya Surely ! Make it make sense! You mean Waiyaki way deserves no trees? Kenha sees no need even when other Kenyans see it?

 On #WangariMaathaiDay we honour Wangari Maathai, first African woman Nobel Peace Prize laureate who proved that protecting the environment is protecting people, peace & democracy. May we choose courage, sustainability & justice one action, one voice, one tree at a time

The greatest mistake of our civilization may be the belief that we stand above nature. In truth, we are entirely dependent on the systems we are destabilizing everyday. Arrogance built the crisis. Humility must build the solution. #ClimateAction #ClimateChange

Let’s make space for nature, again. Not because we have to, but because we want to. Stay informed, stay safe, and let’s build a more resilient Kenya together. #ClimateCrisis #ActNow

The KMD has issued warnings for the 2026 MAM long rains: heavy rainfall, flash floods, and extreme heat are on the forecast. Climate change isn’t coming; it’s here, and it’s shaping our seasons. #ClimateAction #Kenya #LongRains

From flood-proofing homes to adopting climate-smart gardening, every action counts. We need robust early warning systems AND community-level adaptation. Let’s turn warnings into action. #SustainableLiving #CommunityAction

How prepared are you and your community for intensified rains? Proactive steps can make all the difference. #ClimateResilience #FloodPreparedness

Wildlife is more than beauty in the wild; it is the foundation of thriving ecosystems. From predators that regulate populations to pollinators that sustain plant life, every species plays a vital role in maintaining nature’s balance. When wildlife thrives, communities and habitats flourish too. This #WorldWildlifeDay, let’s commit to protecting the roots of our ecosystems and safeguarding the future of our planet. #ProtectingOurRoots #ThrivingWildlifeForever #WWD2026

The planet doesn’t need heroes once a year. It needs citizens every day. Turn climate concern into climate discipline. That’s where transformation begins. #ClimateResponsibility #Eco365SI

Someone recognised me for my writing on GMOs, food and seed sovereignty today. He shared that they’ve used many of my articles in their advocacy work He’d imagined I'd be big-bodied, given the scale of the issues I write about. For avoidance of disappointment I am petite.😂

What footprints will you leave behind when you leave this world? Carbon footprints, or Restoration footprints and a more cleaner earth? Think about this!

Deforestation is not just an environmental issue. It is economic loss, food insecurity, rising heat, failing water systems, vanishing biodiversity. What we destroy today returns tomorrow as crisis. #ClimateRisk #Sustainability

Your unique qualities are your superpowers! Never let anyone diminish your worth based on color, weight, or gender. Embrace who you are, stand tall, and know that you belong. Every space is better with you in it. #YouBelong

True power lies in how we treat others. Regardless of means, color, weight, or gender, every person deserves to be treated with humanity and respect. Choose kindness over hierarchy. #HumanityFirst #Equality #RespectAll #KindnessMatters #Inclusion

It’s all political. Trust wisely. Don’t get dirty, but don’t sleep on your own life either. Own it. 💯 #LiveYourBestLife

We didn’t just train them. We equipped them with protective gear. Dignity is not charity. It is recognition. This is #OrganicRebirth 🌱
