How Ngong Road Forest Youth Pillar is Transforming the Forest


When you walk through the peaceful trails of Ngong Road Forest, you can feel the energy of something greater. The pillar is a quiet movement led by young people who believe that change begins with them. The Ngong Road Forest Association (NRFA) isn’t just protecting trees; it’s nurturing a generation of nature lovers, leaders, and changemakers.

From tree planting to nurturing seedlings in community nurseries, young volunteers are at the heart of NRFA’s reforestation efforts. Each tree planted is a symbol of hope, a promise to restore what’s been lost, and a step toward a cleaner, greener Nairobi.

Conservation doesn’t have to be boring! Through events like the Ngong Forest Fun Run and Biking & Brunch, youth turn environmental care into fun experiences. It’s all about community, adventure, and making an impact one run, one ride, one smile at a time.

Ngong Road Forest Association also runs programs that help young people learn environmental skills and leadership. From Saturday activities with kids to training in beekeeping and tree nursery management, the forest has become a living classroom teaching us to protect nature while building our futures.

 💚 Join the Movement

The youth are not waiting for change, we’re creating it. At Ngong Road Forest, every voice, every hand, every heart matters. So come plant a tree, join a clean-up, or just walk through the trails and feel part of something beautiful.

Together, we’re not just saving a forest, we’re shaping a future.

How Migration Affects Family Relationships (It’s Not Just About Distance)

Migration impacts more than just where people live. It changes family roles, emotional bonds, and everyday life. Here's how it really affects relationships. Let’s Talk About Migration and Family Life When people move to another country for work, study, or a better life, they often do it with one goal in mind: to support their loved ones. But while migration brings hope and opportunity, it also brings distance and not just the kind you measure in miles. So, how does migration affect family relationships? That’s a big question, but one that hits home for millions of families around the world. Let’s break it down in a real, honest way. Being Far Away Is Hard One of the biggest things people don’t always talk about is just how emotionally tough migration can be. Sure, there’s excitement and progress, but when a parent, spouse, or child is far away, there’s a real ache that doesn’t go away with a phone call. Even with video chats and WhatsApp messages, you can’t hug through a scre...

Cancel Culture: Modern Justice or Online Bullying?

  In today’s digital age, cancel culture seems to stir up more heated debate than most. Some hail it as a way for society to hold public figures and institutions accountable while others see it as a dangerous form of online bullying; an unforgiving, mob-driven take-down with real-life consequences. But what exactly is cancel culture, and is it helping or hurting our world? Let’s explore both sides of the coin. Cancel Culture as Modern Justice One of the strongest arguments for cancel culture is that it gives power to the powerless. For generations, marginalised voices were silenced by systems that protected the rich, the famous, and the powerful. Today, social media has changed that. When someone speaks out about racism, sexism, abuse, or corruption, their voice can echo around the globe within hours. The public can demand change and more importantly, demand accountability. Consider cases where traditional institutions failed to act until social pressure forced them to. In these mo...

Catholic Mass Readings for Thursday, September 1st 2022

TWENTY-SECOND WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C FIRST READING "All are yours,’ and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s." 1 Corinthians 3: 18 - 23 Brethren: Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”  So let no one boast of men. For all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future, all are yours; and you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s. The Word of the Lord. RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 24: 1 - 2, 3 - 4ab, 5 - 6 (R.) 1ab R/. The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness. The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness,  the world, and all who dwell in it. It is he who set it on the seas;  on the rivers he made it firm. R/. Who shall climb the mountain of the Lo...
