Growing Trees. Building Resilience. Empowering Communities.

The Harira Climate Resilience Initiative is a flagship program dedicated to restoring Kenya’s degraded landscapes and strengthening adaptive capacity in the face of climate change. Through targeted reforestation, climate education, and community-led development, we deliver measurable environmental and socio-economic outcomes that advance national and global sustainability goals. By investing in nature-based solutions and empowering local communities, we are not only rehabilitating ecosystems but also building climate resilience, enhancing livelihoods, and safeguarding opportunities for future generations.

What We Do

Harira is more than a tree-planting NGO. We are a strategic driver of environmental restoration and socio-economic transformation. Our mission is to integrate ecosystem rehabilitation with community development, creating sustainable value chains that benefit both people and the planet.
Through evidence-based interventions and collaborative partnerships, our core programs focus on:

Community Empowerment

Building inclusive, sustainable livelihoods that align with environmental stewardship with local economic growth.

Wangari Maathai

You can not protect the environment unless you empower people, you inform them, and you help them understand that these resources are their own, that they MUST protect them

Why Trees Matter

Trees are more than just greenery. They are life-givers and protectors.

Climate Action

Fruit trees, beekeeping, and nurseries create income for local families.

Water Security

Green spaces reduce stress, improve air quality, and promote mental wellness.

Biodiversity

Native trees restore habitats for birds, bees, and wildlife.

Healthy Communities

Forests protect watersheds, rivers, and rainfall patterns.

Livelihoods

Trees absorb carbon dioxide, helping Kenya meet climate adaptation goals.
