About 'One Tourist, One Tree' Initiative

  • Reforesting Kenya, One Visitor at a Time

    Each tree planted through the OTOT initiative helps restore Kenya’s ecosystems. By contributing to reforestation, tourists not only leave a positive impact on the landscapes they visit but also aid in the global fight against climate change. Together, we’re building a greener Kenya and a more sustainable world. 

  • A Legacy of Conservation and Connection

    Through the 'One Tourist, One Tree' program, every visitor becomes part of Kenya’s conservation journey. Your tree represents a lasting gift—one that supports biodiversity, local communities, and environmental preservation. This initiative lets you leave more than just footprints; it’s a meaningful way to give back.

  • Tangible Action, Global Impact

    The OTOT initiative empowers tourists to take direct action. By planting a tree, you offset your travel-related carbon emissions while contributing to a broader global effort. Each tree makes a difference, ensuring a healthier planet and reinforcing Kenya’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

Why Your Contribution Matters

  • Empowering Local Communities

    Your support is essential in uplifting local communities. Funds from the OTOT initiative directly benefit residents through tree planting, creating jobs and enhancing local stewardship of resources. Together, we’re building a sustainable future that nurtures both people and the environment.

  • Combatting Climate Change

    Every dollar you donate plays a crucial role in combatting climate change through reforestation. Trees capture carbon dioxide, reduce greenhouse gases, and promote biodiversity. Your contribution helps restore Kenya’s ecosystems and supports global efforts to foster a healthier planet for everyone.

  • Creating a Lasting Legacy

    By contributing to the OTOT initiative, you’re crafting a lasting legacy for future generations. Each tree planted embodies a commitment to environmental preservation, ensuring Kenya’s landscapes thrive. Your participation fosters a culture of conservation, creating a positive impact that transcends your visit.
