On December 21, 2022, President William Ruto launched a groundbreaking program called "jaza miti," aimed at encouraging Kenyan citizens to plant 15 billion trees by 2032.

This ambitious initiative seeks to combat the devastating effects of climate change, including droughts, floods, diseases, and unpredictable rainfall patterns, by reducing greenhouse emissions and addressing varying climate changes. President Ruto himself commemorated his 56th birthday by planting 56 trees, emphasizing the significance of the cause.
