We opted to plant trees in a section of Juja, Kenya that is quite dry. We had a rota system for the watering of the seedlings after the initial planting.
About the Millennium Fellow
Michelle Wangechi Waweru might just be one of the reasons "The Green City in the Sun" reinstates its outstanding name. A child of Nairobi, she is determined to ensure pollution will not overhaul her home. Her start - The Millennium Fellowship! Using their support and mentorship, she plans to create an impact on something as simple as the color of the city's waterways. "It gave us our name; we cannot sit and destroy it", she says of the Nairobi River. How can a place named "of cool waters" have eyesores for rivers??
