Greening and Fruiting Schools Project.

Fruits are critical for growth and development of children. In our continued endeavor in Environmental Conservation, Health and Hygiene, a partnership of Njoro Youth Organic Farm, Njoro Boda Boda self Help Group, Njoro Women Waste Handlers under the banner Njoro Community Development Network (NCDN) are working with schools on early learning about environmental Conservation with schools

During the monthly activities in each school, we undertake talks on environmental conservation, health and hygiene, sanitation, child safeguarding as well as organic farming; planting the trees with organic manure.

Njoro has a high stunting rate at 56% above the national average of 52%. This is occasioned also by high levels of poverty at 57%, the highest among the sub counties of Nakuru.

This Campaign seeks to reverse this situation. Poor diets and nutrition not only affect physical development but has significant impact on cognitive development and abilities of children needed for firm foundational literacy and numeracy skills.
