NETFUND PLEDGES TO DONATE BEEHIVES TO THOME CARITAS COMMUNITY IN LAIKIPIA COUNTY
The Cabinet secretary for Environment and
Forestry Keriako Tobiko presided over an event which was the culmination of an
assessment of funded conservation projects in the county. The objective of the
projects is to build resilience and adaptive capacity of vulnerable groups in the
society.
He attributed water shortage at Thome and
Laikipia County in general to unsustainable farming practices and charcoal burning.
He instructed agencies under his Ministry to carry out a crackdown
on those cultivating on riparian land.
He also decried the
wanton destruction of the environment over the years which have turned the area
from a water sufficient area in the 1980’s to a water scarce area.
CS Tobiko thanked the
Local Catholic Church leadership led by Father Peterson Ndegwa for being at the
forefront in the conservation and protection of the environment. “The Catholic
Church worldwide has been on the forefront advocating other faith based
organization to protect and conserve the environment”, CS Tobiko affirmed “We
will continue to partner with National government and development partners to
ensure that all efforts meet at improving lives of our people”, he added. Thome
Caritas pan water project not only aims at supporting the raising of tree
seedling and farming but also to ensure more than 400 households benefit from
piped water.
During the event NETFUND CEO
Samson Toniok who had accompanied the CS, pledged to support Thome Caritas
development projects by donating beehives to support farming in the area.
