Outreach activities are designed to help the school of Agriculture and E1nvironmental Sciences connect with and support specific groups of people by providing information, resources, or services. They involve community events like cleanup activities, visitation to children’s and the elderly homes social media campaigns, partnerships with local organizations, and more. These activities aim to create awareness, build relationships, and ultimately, empower communities. Recently, the School of Agriculture and environmental Sciences students in conjunction with Kenyatta University Environmental Club (KUNEC) organized three outreach activities including Tree planting and excursion in Thogoto forest where they planted 200 indigenous tree seedlings to assist the community in restoring the forest lost glory.
