Promoting environmental protection

Many from my village had been carelessly destroying the environment by cutting trees and also ploughing along the slope without caring if the rain waters would sweep away the top fertile land. This continued until this year when an organization called ABCD Program came and taught people on proper methods of ploughing across the slope that reduces the speed of runoff and thus protect soil from erosion. Also they were told the disadvantages of cutting trees without planting new ones to replace them as this is what has seen Kenya constantly suffer from drought and extream hinger. After the visit people started following the advise given to them by the organization and atleast they now maintain their environment.
