One Million Trees Marathon

Organised by Lukenya University | Mtito Andei, Makueni County

Lukenya University is located within semi-arid land, with several seasonal rivers and bordering the Tsavo National Park.

The University  therefore has embarked on an ambitious plan to plant one million trees in the kibwezi , Mtito Andei area  .  The  University  also felt it can play a role in dry land  re-afforsetation of the region and come up with a model that can be utilised in other dry land counties .

We aim to plant trees in:

  1. Water catchment areas around the Chyulu Hills , and along river banks
  2. Public primary, secondary schools and other tertiary education institutions
  3. Government offices and markets
  4. Government and national parks or reserves
  5. Villages and homes

The University plans to hold the inaugural ‘One million trees’ Marathon at its main campus in Mtito Andei on 26th March 2023 . The marathon shall be held once every year and targets to raise funds for 200,000  tree seedlings . The marathon shall run for 5 years until the target of 1 million trees is met.
