Garbage collection and cleaning


Garbage Collection at Eor-Ekule Center, Narok East

Naretmuj Environmental Conservation Group recently led a successful garbage collection drive at Eor-Ekule Center, bringing together local traders, boda boda riders, and volunteers. The team cleared litter from market areas, roadside ditches, and open spaces, greatly improving hygiene and the look of the center. Proper waste management prevents disease, protects water sources, and complements Naretmuj’s wider conservation efforts, including tree planting. Residents welcomed the cleaner environment and pledged to maintain it, while local leaders promised continued support. The event proved that a healthy, green future depends on both planting trees and keeping our shared spaces clean.

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...

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...
