  Kilifi is a county found in the Coastal region of Kenya. It is rated as an arid and semi-arid location where the rainfall that is received is not enough to enable farmers to plant crops and keep their livestock all year in. After spending over four years in Kilifi and visiting one hundred schools in the County I discovered that the leaders in the schools located in the deep villages in the County still suffer from Malnutrition. This is due to the fact that the community cannot be able to provide a balanced diet to school-going children. One reason is the crops planted and the ones which are affordable in the food market are mostly starch that is Maize and Cassava. The students not only suffer from malnutrition but also lack a safe space from the hot sun to rest during the hot sun in Nov to  Feb. Most of the schools do not have shade and fruit trees for the students to sit under and eat.  Onemilliontrees4kilifi Seeing that Kilifi County should be at per in achieving SDG 1 (No Poverty)

Grasses form the smooth ground cover, and living carpets, of the environment. The green cover thus gives us the surrounding its great splendor. Nonetheless, it's quite ironic to find most institutions, homes or even parks lack grass cover. The argument is that grass cover is a relic of ancient times. Could this be the real case? Should we say that grass is a bad plant? Absolutely not! Properly maintained grass-cover, lawns, form the best ground cover for many situations. As the grasses grow, they help stabilize the soil and reduce air pollution, dust, and glare. In that regard, it is right to assert that well-diversified grass cover is not only an aesthetic element of the environment but also an important aspect of human health. Grass planting at Maono space This is the reason we are lobbying for the creation of mini-parks around the schools and parks in Kilifi County.  It's a sorrowful state that the community around do prefer dry ground with no grass around their surrounding.
