Planting trees is often part of our youth service activities and community events. Tree planting goes beyond environmental impact—it's a way of putting down roots in a place. During our recent Gender Desk launch in #Mathare, we planted trees as a symbol of #CFKAfrica's commitment to the community. Taking care of these trees and the fruits they bear represents our shared responsibility, embedding us in the community. #EarthDay #sustainability
