Today, the National Council for Population and Development (NCPD) had the privilege of hosting the Principal Secretary for the State Department for Economic Planning, Dr. Boniface Makokha, at Sierra Girls Secondary School in Busia County for a meaningful tree planting exercise and mentorship engagement.
Led by Acting Director General, Madam Lucy Kimondo, the team planted 600 fruit seedlings, each one a symbol of hope, sustainability, and a healthier future for our communities.
This initiative, under the Adopt a Fruit Tree program, is more than just planting trees, it is about nurturing resilience.
It aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 13 on Climate Action by strengthening our capacity to respond to climate-related challenges, while also contributing to broader goals such as ending poverty, improving nutrition, supporting education, promoting decent livelihoods, and enhancing overall well-being.
Fruit trees offer lasting value at the household level, provide accessible, nutritious food, create opportunities for income generation, and play a vital role in empowering families especially women and children.
Beyond that, they enrich biodiversity, improve soil fertility, support carbon sequestration, and increase tree cover, key pillars in the fight against climate change.
Guided by our commitment to “Quality Life for All,” NCPD continues to champion practical, people-centered solutions that uplift communities and safeguard the environment.
Through efforts like this, and in line with the ICPD25 Kenya Country Commitments and global development agenda, we reaffirm our promise to ensure that no one is left behind.
Together, we grow not just trees, but stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities.
