On the shores of Mombasa, a group of young environmentalists is taking on a formidable challenge: combating climate change through tree planting and growth monitoring. Armed not only with shovels and notebooks but also with a powerful tool in their pockets - the Jaza Miti App.

Empowering Youth for Climate Action.

Meet Hamisi Mohammed, a passionate young environmentalist from the Kishoka Youth Organisation, who dreams of making a difference in his community. He recalls his first encounter with the Jaza Miti App, "I was seeking ways to contribute to the environment, and that's when I discovered Jaza Miti. It's a game-changer."

Jaza Miti App: A Game-Changer for Afforestation

The Kenyan Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry, in partnership with KEFRI, developed the Jaza Miti App as an essential step towards realising the ambitious aim of planting 15 billion trees by 2032.

This ground-breaking mobile tool, which is accessible on both Google Play and the Apple tool Store, is expected to transform efforts to plant trees across the country.

The App enables users to identify optimal planting sites, choose suitable tree species, and monitor tree growth using artificial intelligence. The app provides real-time data on tree health, ensuring that each planted tree has the best chance of thriving.

Technology and Passion Unite for a Greener Future

Dr. John Thomson, a renowned environmental scientist, praises the app's innovation. "Jaza Miti revolutionizes afforestation efforts. It harnesses technology to empower individuals, especially the youth, to actively participate in mitigating climate change."

From Backyards to Beaches: Tree Planting in the Community

Hamisi and his fellow environmentalists set to work, planting trees in their town's parks, beaches, schools, and even in their own backyards. The Jaza Miti App guides them every step of the way, from selecting the right tree species for their region to tracking the trees.

Hamisi's Remarkable Achievement: Planting 4000 Mangroves with Jaza Miti

In a remarkable feat, Hamisi and his dedicated team have successfully planted 4000 mangroves along the shores of Mombasa using the Jaza Miti App. This impressive contribution not only showcases their commitment to environmental conservation but also highlights the versatility of the app in promoting diverse afforestation efforts. Hamisi's passion and dedication continue to inspire others to join the movement for a greener, more sustainable future.

Educational Impact: Jaza Miti in Local Schools

"The app makes it easy for us to make informed choices about where and what to plant," Hamisi explains. "It turns a daunting task into something accessible and enjoyable." Local schools are adopting the Jaza Miti program, turning tree planting into a fun and educational activity for students.

Youth as Environmental Stewards

Dr. Thomson emphasizes the importance of youth involvement, stating, "Engaging young people in environmental conservation is crucial. They are the stewards of our future, and Jaza Miti empowers them to take an active role."

A Nationwide Phenomenon: The Jaza Miti Movement

The success story of Hamisi and his fellow environmentalists spreads beyond their town. The Jaza Miti App becomes a nationwide phenomenon, with thousands of young environmentalists across the country planting trees and monitoring their growth. The impact on climate change is becoming tangible.

Empowering Advocates for the Environment

Reflecting on his journey, Hamisi notes, "Jaza Miti not only helps us plant trees; it empowers us to become advocates for our environment. It shows us that we can make a difference, regardless of our age."

Technology and Passion for a Greener Future

The Jaza Miti App continues to inspire a new generation of environmentalists, proving that when technology and passion come together, even the most daunting challenges can be tackled. As Dr. Thomson aptly puts it, "With the Jaza Miti App, the future of our planet is in good hands."
