How Students, GreenSprout, and OchaKwetu Planted the Roots of Muga Forest


 How Students, GreenSprout, and OchaKwetu Planted the Roots of Muga Forest

In an inspiring collaboration that speaks to the power of youth and community, students from Naya Secondary School came together with the organizations GreenSprout Kenya and OchaKwetu to breathe new life into the environment — one tree at a time. This initiative, grounded in environmental stewardship and fueled by collective energy, led to the creation of what is now known as Muga Forest.

What began as a tree-planting campaign soon transformed into a full-fledged movement. Students enthusiastically took part, shovels in hand and hope in their hearts, guided by the mentorship of OchaKwetu and the environmental education framework provided by GreenSprout. The activity didn’t just plant seedlings; it planted purpose — empowering young people to take action for the planet.

The name "Muga Forest" is a heartfelt tribute to Mr. Muga, a former principal of Naya Secondary School. Known for his passion for the environment, Mr. Muga consistently encouraged students to take part in conservation efforts, especially through tree planting. His vision of a greener, healthier future inspired generations — and that vision now thrives as a growing forest.

The newly planted trees, once just slender saplings in the hands of eager students, are now a flourishing symbol of what partnership, education, and passion for the environment can achieve. Muga Forest stands today not only as a green canopy but as a monument to the enduring impact of community-led conservation.

This success story is a reminder that when students are empowered and community organizations unite, transformation is not only possible — it’s inevitable.
