In climate-stressed Turkana County, refugees in Kakuma and Kalobeyei are leading restoration through Trees of Hope, a refugee-led project by LMTD Africa and BIDII YETU. From 2023–2025, communities planted 600 trees, reframing refugees as stewards and spurring demand for a 1,000-seedling nursery.

Kakuma and Kalobeyei, in Kenya’s climate-stressed Turkana County, face extreme heat, deforestation, and water scarcity. Through the refugee-led Trees of Hope initiative, communities are shifting from survival to stewardship, restoring degraded land through local tree planting/environmental action.
