As part of its commitment to environmental stewardship, Kanisa SACCO, in partnership with the Wangari Maathai Institute for Peace and Environmental Studies (WMI), recently joined hands in a meaningful tree planting initiative under the Landscape Repair and Transformation (LANSRET) program.

This collaboration brought together SACCO members, WMI faculty, students, and the Hearts of Green team in a collective effort to restore degraded landscapes, promote indigenous tree planting, and inspire sustainable living.

🌿 Why It Matters
Tree planting is more than a symbolic gesture — it’s a powerful action that regenerates ecosystems, mitigates climate change, improves biodiversity, and safeguards our future. Through this initiative, Kanisa SACCO demonstrated how financial institutions can actively support environmental conservation while empowering their communities.

What We Planted
A variety of indigenous and fruit trees were planted — chosen for their adaptability, ecological value, and long-term impact. Each seedling represents a step towards environmental resilience and economic empowerment.

Sustainable Partnerships for Lasting Impact
The partnership with WMI highlights the importance of strategic collaboration between academia, financial cooperatives, and grassroots organizations. By combining research, community engagement, and funding, we ensure that every tree planted thrives for years to come.

Looking Ahead
This event is just the beginning. Kanisa SACCO has pledged to continue participating in tree growing campaigns and to champion sustainability among its members.
