Fifty Trees Initiative Upcoming
Upcoming Event · Friday, 24 July 2026 · Kasarani Primary School
We plant. We nurture. We grow. For the planet.
Ubuntu Retold Initiatives CBO, in partnership with Kasarani Primary School, invites the community to a purposeful tree-growing initiative. Together, we will plant 50 trees and, more importantly, commit to nurturing them to maturity.
The activity marks World Nature Conservation Day, observed by us on 24 July because schools will be closed on 28 July. It is an opportunity to turn environmental awareness into practical, lasting action with young people and the wider community.
Support the Fifty Trees Initiative
Help us give every tree the best possible start. Join us on the day, contribute seedlings or tree-care materials, or make a financial contribution toward planting and follow-up care. Every contribution helps turn 50 seedlings into 50 mature trees.

Africa Day at Mama Fauzia Children's Home — Recap Past Event
Past Event · Sunday, 24 May 2026 · Mama Fauzia Children's Home, Nairobi
Theme — “Celebrating African Unity through Love, Service & Community.”
This Africa Day, Ubuntu Retold Initiatives chose to celebrate the continent the way Ubuntu teaches us to — together, with the community. We spent the day at Mama Fauzia Children's Home in Nairobi, where love, learning, and laughter filled every moment.
We sat with the children and mentored them, opened conversations about Pan-Africanism — who we are as a continent, the leaders who shaped us, and the future they themselves are building — and taught them about environmental conservation, why our trees, our soil, and our rivers matter. We presented gifts of food, toiletries, and supplies, did face painting, and shared tree seedlings as a small symbol of the future we are planting together.
It was a day of joy, of presence, and of reminding the children of Mama Fauzia that they are seen, loved, and part of a much bigger African story. I am because we are.
💙 Thank you
To everyone who donated food, clothes, toiletries, school supplies and tree seedlings — and to every volunteer who showed up, asanteni sana. You made this day possible. To the staff and children of Mama Fauzia Children's Home — thank you for welcoming us into your home and your hearts.
