Through Nature-based #Solutions and farmer-led approaches we're restoring #landscapes and improving #livelihoods. During the #Accelerating Nature-based Solutions Conference the Restore Africa Programme was just one initiatives propelled forward.

Our planet's ecosystems are at a tipping point, that's why #WorldEnvironmentDay 2024 calls on us to be the "#GenerationRestoration" - restoring degraded lands, halting desertification, and building drought resilience for the sake of our future.
#GreenUptoCoolDown
Today, we engaged with the government, NGOs, partners, and the Narok community to build a shared vision for the #RestoreAfrica program.
World Vision Kenya is the lead implementing organization for the Global EverGreening Alliance's #RestoreAfrica Program, which aims to restore over 250,000 hectares and support 250,000 households in Kenya.
In Narok County, #RestoreAfrica aims to:
✅Restore over 77,508 hectares of land
✅Nurture 3,012,360 trees through planting & Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (#FMNR)
✅Support over 50,206 farming families
Chief Officer, Environment, Energy, Water, Climate Change, and Natural Resource, NAROK COUNTY GOVERNMENT, William Tumanka, emphasized the importance of collaboration to protect nature from further destruction through land restoration initiatives.
Let's revitalize our land and empower communities! 🇰🇪 #WorldVisionKenya #ClimateAction #RestoreAfrica

Let's Green Up to Cool Down this #EarthDay! We join the #GreenUptoCoolDown movement that shares a common goal with Earth Day: protecting the planet. It aims to combat climate change by capturing carbon dioxide through landscape restoration.
🌱🌏 We're proud to be part of the global #GreenUptoCoolDown movement, that aims to combat #climatechange through initiatives like tree planting & landscape regeneration.
On this #EarthDay, we reflect on our collaboration with local communities and partners to restore 250,000 hectares of degraded lands and improve the livelihoods of 250,000 small-scale farming/pastoral households across six counties in Kenya, thanks to our #RestoreAfrica programme funded by the Global Evergreening Alliance (GEA) through Climate Asset Management (CAM).
