Preserving Oloolua Forest: NETFUND’s Collaboration for Sustainable Ecosystems

Led by the CEO, the NETFUND team actively participated in a significant initiative aimed at the restoration and preservation of the Oloolua Forest, located within the Ngong Hills and Kibiko Forest blocks.

The event, organized by Friends of Oloolua Forest, was spearheaded by the  Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Honorable Soipan Tuya, and Mr. Mugambi, the Principal Secretary of the State Department of Forestry. Their presence underscored the importance of collaborative efforts in safeguarding Kenya’s natural treasures.

Central to NETFUND’s involvement was the distribution of 50,000 potting bags to community groups, a substantial contribution aimed at enhancing local capacity for tree planting and sustainable land management. This initiative not only supports the ecological health of the forest but also empowers communities to actively participate in its conservation.

Oloolua Forest, spanning 618 hectares, is not just a vital habitat for diverse flora and fauna but also a crucial watershed area that ensures water security for nearby communities. By actively engaging in its restoration and fencing, NETFUND and its partners are paving the way for long-term environmental sustainability in the region.

“We are delighted to be part of this crucial initiative. Our commitment to environmental conservation goes hand in hand with empowering communities to become stewards of their natural resources. Together with Friends of Oloolua Forest and esteemed government officials, we are making tangible strides towards preserving this invaluable ecosystem.”  CEO  NETFUND.

NETFUND’s dedication to environmental stewardship is commendable, reflecting our mission to foster sustainable development through innovative environmental solutions. As we celebrate these achievements, let us all be inspired to take action in our communities, contributing to the preservation of our environment and the well-being of our planet.
