Nature Nurtures: Fruit Tree Initiative at Athi River Primary School by Nature Lover team in partnership with HumansDid and Treesixty

On World Environment Day, June 5th, 2025 the sun rose gently over Athi River Primary School, casting a golden glow on the dusty grounds. For years, the schoolyard had been bare, with only a few scraggly shrubs struggling to survive the heat. But this year was different.  Nature lover in Partnership with HumansDid and Treesixty provided fruit seedlings for the school to take part in this special event.

With the help of students, teachers, and local volunteers, they dug holes, placed the saplings gently into the earth, and watered them with care. Children’s laughter mixed with the rhythmic sound of spades in soil. The C.E.O of Nature Lover Dr. Mary Manana knelt beside a group of curious pupils, explaining how each tree would not only feed them in the future but also cool the schoolyard and attract birds and bees.

"This isn’t just about trees," he said. "It’s about growing a future we can all be proud of."

By day’s end, the once-barren field had transformed into a living promise. As the breeze rustled the new leaves, NLC team smiled. Nature had found new allies in HumansDid, Treesixty, and the spirited children of Athi River Primary.

Together, they weren’t just planting trees—they were planting hope.
