About this Photo

From above, the Noolturesh River is marked by a green corridor of trees that trace its path through Kajiado. On one side, fertile farms thrive; on the other, dry pastoral lands stretch toward the horizon. The trees lining the river are more than just a boundary; they are guardians of water, soil, and life, anchoring a fragile balance between people, livestock, and the land. The river feeds farms and settlements downstream, yet upstream irrigation and water diversions threaten its flow, leaving communities further along vulnerable. This makes tree-growing initiatives along the Noolturesh especially vital, strengthening the riverbanks, protecting water sources, and ensuring that this lifeline continues to nourish both people and ecosystems for generations to come.
