Conservation at Narok east

Everything starts with me and you.
Save my planet.

Everything Starts with Me and You. Save My Planet.

In the heart of Narok East, a powerful idea is taking root: Everything starts with me and you. Save my planet. It’s not just a slogan, it’s a call to action, a daily commitment, and a belief that individual effort, when combined, transforms communities and the Earth we share.

A Personal Commitment Becomes a Collective Movement

Every monumental environmental shift begins with one person making a choice choosing to plant a seed, conserve water, or teach a child about ecology. In Ildamat Ward, this principle came alive when Naretmuj Environmental Conservation Group, alongside Greening Africa, mobilized communities to plant over 1,000 seedlings at Ntulele, Ololerai Dam, and KAG Church. With the support of ENSDA, Red Cross, and Tareto Kenya, the initiative restored damaged ecosystems and united people behind a purpose greater than themselves.

These acts remind us: you don’t need to be a global leader to make a difference. You just need the resolve to act.

From Schools to Churches Every Corner Matters

The ripple effect multiplies when institutions like schools and churches become champions. At Enooseyia Secondary School, Naretmuj and partners donated seedlings and educated students about environmental sustainability “making Narok East green... by planting trees throughout Narok East in schools, health centres, churches.”

Similarly, on Madaraka Day, a tradition symbolizing self-rule and responsibility, students and police at Eor-Ekule Primary School joined the planting efforts. The symbolism was rich taking control of Kenya’s future by strengthening its environmental foundation.

Inspecting Progress, Renewing Commitment

Saving our planet isn’t a one-time event it’s continuous. That’s why Naretmuj’s team doesn’t just plant and walk away. Under the leadership of Lawrence Konko, they revisited past planting sites at Ntulele, Ololpironito Primary, and Enooseyia to inspect progress, plant more trees, and even distribute sanitary towels addressing both environmental and social needs.

This blend of environmental stewardship with community care embodies the essence of me and you working side-by-side.

Celebrating Individual Leadership

Every movement gains momentum when leaders are honoured. In Ildamat Ward, Lawrence Konko was recognized twice in a row as Environmentalist of the Year fortyunderlining his dedication as founder of Greening Africa and as a driving force behind Naretmuj’s success.

These accolades encourage others emphasizing that personal action not only changes lives but can also inspire and uplift.

How You Can Stand Up and Make a Difference

  1. Plant a tree yourself: in your home compound, school, or community centre. Begin that ripple.
  2. Join a local event: like those hosted by Naretmuj; whether planting, inspecting, or educating.
  3. Support institutions: school clubs, churches, or community groups to embed conservation in daily life.
  4. Recognize changemakers: small awards or public acknowledgment can light the flame in others.
  5. Ensure continuity: check on planted trees, water them, protect them, and teach children to love them.

Together, me and you become “us.” And collective “us” becomes the force that saves our planet.

A Vision for a Greener Tomorrow, Rooted in Us

Narok East is positioning itself as a beacon of community-driven conservation. Whether it’s a student’s first tree planted, a recognition for outstanding leadership, or a communal revisit to a growing grove every moment echoes the message: Everything starts with me and you. Save my planet.

Let this be a heartfelt reminder: you matter. Your action matters. And when hundreds or thousands like you decide to care, we become the change the planet needs.

TREES & URBAN AREAS.

     TREES & URBAN AREAS . Donating trees to the pastor of AIC Church, Eor-Ekule Centre, who will later distribute them to church members for planting at their homes, after first planting some within the church compound. TREES & URBAN AREAS Trees are more than just part of nature in towns and cities, they should be treated as essential infrastructure. Just like we plan for roads, water systems, and drainage, we should also plan for green spaces where trees can thrive. Every tree planted is an investment in cleaner air, cooler streets, and healthier communities. Recently, at Eor-Ekule Centre, we donated and planted trees with members of the community. This event wasn’t just about putting seedlings in the soil it was about building a future where our urban areas remain livable for generations to come. The joy on people’s faces, the hands of children helping fill the soil, and the conversations shared under the shade of older trees reminded us that environmental cons...

Ilpedess Clan of the Maasai

  Ilpedess Clan (Maasai) Ilpedess is a clan of the Ildamat sub-tribe of the Maasai people in Kenya . The clan is primarily found in Narok County ( Narok East , Ildamat Ward ) and Kajiado County . Members of the Ilpedess clan are traditionally engaged in mixed farming , including crop cultivation, goat keeping, sheep herding, and cattle rearing. History The Ilpedess clan traces its origins to a period of conflict in Maasai history, during which a group of Maasai fled their homeland as refugees. The elder Ole Kobaai , originally from the Ilpatimaro clan , received the refugees and named them Ilpedess to integrate them into the local community. This naming also enabled intermarriage between the refugees and the host community. Symbol and Identity The clan’s totem is the monkey , which in Maasai culture can symbolize adaptability, cleverness, and social bonds. Like other Maasai clans, Ilpedess follows exogamy , meaning members are not permitted to marry within the clan. Cultural Pr...

The Mau Forest

From Mau With Love: How a Kenyan Forest Waters North Africa (And Still Gets No Valentine) By Naretmuj Environmental Conservation Somewhere deep in the misty highlands of Kenya, a tree wakes up and whispers to its neighbor: “Hey... did you know our morning dew ends up in Egypt ?” Welcome to the Mau Forest Complex   the forest that waters farms, feeds rivers, fuels wildlife, and hydrates North Africa, yet still doesn’t get enough love (or even a “thank you” from Cairo ). Let’s take a deep dive why the Mau Forest matters to every East and North African. What Is the Mau Forest Complex? The Mau Forest Complex is Kenya’s largest indigenous forest system. Spanning over 400,000 hectares , it stretches across counties like Kericho , Nakuru , Bomet , and Narok . It consists of multiple forest blocks: Maasai Mau Eastern Mau South West Mau Ol Pusimoru (which still sounds like a wizard from Naimina Enkiyo) It’s a natural water tower, carbon sink, animal haven, cultural herit...
