" Making the impossible possible and a deep passion for greener safer cities drive my work. Becoming a Millennium Fellow will help me achieve making this plan a tangible reality for many.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Green
Project Green is an environmental sustainability initiative aimed at transforming underutilized and barren spaces into vibrant green zones at the University of Eldoret where students can study, relax, and connect with nature. Through the planting of 100 trees and the creation of eco-friendly study areas, the project seeks to enhance campus aesthetics, support biodiversity, and promote a culture of environmental responsibility among students. The goals of the project are as follows: (1) Plant 100 trees across identified barren areas on campus and achieve at least a 90% survival rate through consistent maintenance, (2) Engage at least 200 students in sustainability and environmental awareness activities through volunteer tree care programs and campus clean-up drives. (3) Collaborate with the university’s Environmental Department to develop a long-term care and monitoring plan for the planted trees. (4) Document and share impact stories highlighting the project’s contribution to SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 15 (Life on Land).
