TOPAFRICANEWS has learnt that the project will be launched in Nyanza District on Friday, October 23, 2020 at the launch of afforestation season which is an annual programme.

The project is said to be mainly about planting trees and forests in the area as part of the region’s rehabilitation initiative

The project also aims to assist the community in creating profitable projects and to provide them with energy saving cookstoves in order to reduce the pressure on forests and trees cut for firewood.
