KenGen is committed to environmental conservation and sustainably safeguarding the environment it shares with other communities at its areas of operations\u2014for today and generations to come. Through the Foundation, the Company has invested in long-term programs dedicated to sustainable environmental conservation and promoting a tree planting culture within the organization.<\/p>\n
The GIC is structured as a competition to participating schools, mainly due to the dry weather conditions in their locations, with prizes awarded based on the highest survival rate of seedlings, use of innovation, and community inclusion.<\/p>\n
Through the setting up of woodlots in participating schools, the project acts as a change agent to establish a tree-planting culture for multiple benefits in dry-land areas.<\/p>\n
Even higher benefits are the project\u2019s contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gases through carbon sequestration, and the control soil erosion by increasing topsoil infiltration and reducing runoff.<\/p>\n
