In this plan, a child takes care of the trees they plant both at school and at home up to maturity: adopt a tree! This is coupled with education on climate change and proper soil maintenance practices.\n\n**Problem statement**\nThe continued indiscriminate cutting of trees has resulted into unavailability of water for the community, increased temperatures, reduced farm yields and general surge in poverty. The members of the target community are in dire need to develop and increase their forest cover and secure their water catchment areas and improve their soil conservation. Lack of requisite education and information is the main hinderance to these. \n**Project Justification**\nThe main target of this project is to increase the tree cover and imparting climate education to the young population so that we have climate conscious generation.\nThis is an environmental program that is designed as a means of conserving the environment with particular emphasis to schools and the communities around them. This program has among its components, issues that address health, water and sanitation, environmental awareness, tree planting with particular emphasis to multipurpose trees and species especially fruit trees for nutrition in schools and woody trees for the community. \nThe overall target is engaging all schools and their communities in this program\n\n**Project objective**:\nThe overall objective of this project is to increase tree cover while providing generations of children with healthy nutrition options and environmental education\n\n**Specific Objectives**\n\u2022\tTo plant different species of trees in schools and the surrounding community \n\u2022\tTo pass on environment education for protection of our environment.\n\u2022\tTo provide good learning environments for children\n\nEngaging primary schools in planting trees will see us reach many people both in the schools and around the community. When all the children are engaged in adopting trees, it will ensure that most of the trees survive to maturity and in so doing, there will be increase in tree cover. Planting fruit trees will be more encouraging as the children will have nutritional benefits form the fruits. \nAs we engage the children in climate education and setting up tree nurseries their parents too will be involved in planting the surplus seedlings generated. \n\n \n**Project activities** \n**\u2022\tEnvironment Awareness**\nThis helps the learners and their parents learn the value of planting trees, especially fruit trees and how to care for them with emphasis on environmental conservation \n\u2022\tDemonstrations on Nursery Tree Establishments \nThe target beneficiaries are taught how to stablish tree nurseries, care for trees and also simple techniques of breeding such as grafting plants for better quality breeds.\n**\u2022\tTree planting** \nThis involves teachers, parents and the learners. The seedlings are from the tree nurseries established in schools. The learners are taught how to raise trees and each is given seedlings to plant and tend to. They plant at least four trees both at school and at home. \n**Monitoring and Evaluation** \nThere is participatory monitoring and evaluation\nMethodology of implementation\nThere is a dipartite partnership involving the teachers, learners and the parents. The contribution of each party is as follows:\n**\u2022\tTeachers** \n\u2022\tProject design, planning & management\n\u2022\tAcquisition of seeds\n\u2022\tTechnical support and oversight on tree planting and management\n\u2022\tTrainings\n\u2022\tMonitor and evaluate\n\u2022\tProduce report and accountability \n***\u2022\tLearners and parents** \n\u2022\tPlanting and maintenance of trees \n\u2022\tMaintenance of tree nurseries \n\n##### ***When you educate a child about climate change, you educate a whole generation!***\n\n**Multiplication factor of the project** \n![multiplication factor1](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkeDppLx0.png)\n**Images**\n![19 1](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SyDg0aUxC.jpg)\n![19 2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1B-0T8xA.jpg)\n![19 3](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkWGCaIgA.jpg)\n![19 4](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkGSC6UlR.jpg)\n![19 5](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1TBAaIgR.jpg)\n![20220824_162027](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BkEPERLl0.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u2003\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n# **Project updates** \nFrom the funds received during GG19, we were able to \n**1.\tTrain 200 learners**\nFrom the funds we purchased training materials and trained the learners in \n\u2022\tthe effects of cutting trees\n\u2022\timportant of planting trees\n\u2022\ttaking care of the soil\n\u2022\tplanting trees and taking care of them\n\u2022\tgood seed selection\n\u2022\testablishing a viable tree nursery\n**2.\tPlant 236 trees**\nFrom our learning, we established our first tree nursery. From the nursery, we were able to raise seedlings which we planted around the school. Each of the 200 trained learner planted a tree which they are taking care of. We had 30 parents and six teachers planting trees as well. We therefore planted 236 trees. \n**Future plans**\n\u2022\tWe have a plan to have all schools in Kenya under this program.\n\u2022\tHave the parents enroll on crypto support for tree planting. \n\u2022\tPlant trees in all school communities\nhttps://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/adopt-a-tree-1/impact\n\n![20240130_141728](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BkQ7yALl0.jpg)\n![20240130_142840](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJ_4kAIeC.jpg)\n![20240205_141441](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Hy9HkAUxR.jpg)\n![20240205_141614](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkaD1C8gC.jpg)\n![20240205_141635](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyiqJCIeC.jpg)\n![20240206_122513](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1hTkCUe0.jpg)\n![20240206_151054](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkJkxCUlR.jpg)\n![20240206_151536](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Sy51lRUg0.jpg)\n![20240206_152150](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Bk7lxAIlR.jpg)\n![20221122_143018](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/By3j4CIeR.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "eliud_omutanyi"}, "recipient": "0x8be1cf753db9a714063bc774fa39e5e2bc9b247d"}}
