Today NGBM team marked #WORLD LUPUS DAY as to create awareness. El-wak is a dusty, windy town that is prone to drought due to lack of forest and vegetation cover. NGBM volunteer team is really dedicated to green and clean environment to provide an opportunity to involve youths in an activity, mobilize community elders, or help neighbours get to know each other better due to current insecurity in the country especially in Mandera County and beyond.
Nyumba Kumi initiative that the Kenya Government initiated can be achieved through "Nyumba Moja Miti Miwili" and Community Tree Planting Day, can provide an excellent opportunity to achieve.
Town beautification and achieving other goals as mentioned above may be up hill task but with NGBM dedicated team, support of other interested partners and local community this can be achieved, changing the general appearance of the town including improve waste disposal, drainage and its tree canopy as well as landscaping has the possible impact of attracting business investors, organisations development to make their headquaters in El-wak.
These trees in future can provide beautiful shape suitable for streets attraction, soil erosion protection and very nice shade. It will also change the overall attitude of the residents towards their surrounding environment as well.
