KYONI LEADS MWANYANI COMMUNITY IN GREENING MAKUENI CHILD RESCUE CENTRE

Executive Committee Member for Gender, Children, Youth, Sports and Social Services, Eng. Sebastian Kyoni, on Saturday led the Mwanyani community of Emali-Mulala Ward in a greening exercise at the Makueni County Child Rescue Centre.

The exercise was aimed at establishing a child-friendly, environmentally sustainable and conducive environment that supports the healing and well-being of children hosted at the centre.

A total of 300 seedlings comprising ornamental, indigenous and fruit trees were planted. The fruit trees will play a key role in improving nutrition for the children.

The centre, which only awaits gazettement, will serve as a street children rescue and rehabilitation facility.

The exercise was also championed by ChildFund, Dedicated Children Agency, and Eco Green Initiative.
