Carbon Drawdown & Reforestation
Women nursery managers propagate tens of thousands of indigenous seedlings annually, planting them across steep hillside farms and public spaces to absorb carbon and stabilize fragile soils.

Rooted in communityRead our story
Practical conservation grows from local women's action.
KCTNA brings women, families, farmers, and learners into the frontline work of raising seedlings, planting indigenous trees, caring for degraded landscapes, and championing climate education.
People firstCommunity ownership and women leadership keep conservation resilient and lasting.
Care beyond plantingHealthy trees depend on nursery stewardship, the right ecological species, and ongoing care.
Climate Action & Gender Justice
Women at the Forefront of Climate Mitigation
In Western Kenya, rural women experience the earliest and most acute effects of climate disruptions—from unpredictable rainfall to soil erosion and fuel shortages. In response, KCTNA mobilizes women as powerful agents of ecological regeneration and carbon drawdown.
Climate-Resilient Agroforestry
Intercropping food crops with multipurpose leguminous and fruit trees restores soil fertility naturally, safeguards biodiversity, and guarantees household food security despite climate volatility.
Clean Cookstoves & Biomass Savings
Deploying fuel-efficient cookstoves dramatically cuts household firewood consumption, halting forest degradation while directly reducing carbon emissions and domestic smoke exposure.
Watershed & Riparian Defense
Our women-led tree planting along riverbanks, springs, and water catchment zones curbs severe siltation and preserves vital water tables for future generations during dry spells.
The Power of Collective Action
"When women plant trees, they nurture life, community resilience, and a balanced climate."
By providing nursery skills, indigenous tree seeds, and solidarity networks, KCTNA transforms climate vulnerability into active leadership. Our members are not just weathering climate change—they are actively mitigating it day by day.
