The tree planting exercise is part of a broader commitment by Mathenge TTI to promote sustainable practices on campus. The initiative is expected to contribute not only to improved air quality and biodiversity on the college grounds but also to student awareness and involvement in environmental matters.
As Kenya continues to face the challenges of deforestation and climate change, the role of educational institutions in modeling and promoting green practices has become increasingly vital. Mathenge TTI’s example serves as an inspiration to others in the education sector and beyond.
With this effort, the TTI has shown that real progress can be made when communities rally behind a shared vision for a better, greener tomorrow.
