Tree Planting at Thiba Dam | Recolte Limited’s Environmental Initiative

Tree planting at Thiba Dam brought Recolte Limited, Green Spaces and local community members together on 9 May 2026 for an environmental conservation initiative. The activity involved planting 10,000 trees to support ecosystem restoration and protect natural resources for future generations. Recolte’s Founder and Managing Director, Betty Karimi, participated in the exercise, demonstrating the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility beyond its everyday business operations.

Tree Planting at Thiba Dam and Environmental Protection

Thiba Dam plays an important role in supporting irrigation and agricultural activities in Kirinyaga County. Healthy surrounding ecosystems help protect soil, support biodiversity and contribute to the long-term conservation of water resources. According to the National Irrigation Authority, the dam has helped expand irrigation activities within the Mwea Irrigation Scheme, strengthening agricultural productivity and supporting local livelihoods. For Recolte, environmental conservation and economic development are closely connected. Supporting initiatives that protect natural resources contributes to stronger communities and sustainable infrastructure.

Building Greener Communities Through Partnerships

The initiative brought Recolte together with Green Spaces, local residents and volunteers around a shared environmental goal. Beyond planting seedlings, the exercise encouraged community involvement and greater awareness of environmental responsibility. Leadership participation also highlighted the importance of practical action. Meaningful environmental progress requires organisations and communities to work together towards long-term conservation goals.

Integrating Sustainability Into Business Growth

As a provider of trade finance solutions for SMEs, contractors and suppliers, Recolte Limited recognises the importance of building businesses that contribute positively to society. Its involvement in environmental initiatives demonstrates how financial empowerment and environmental stewardship can support a shared vision of sustainable development. The tree planting at Thiba Dam initiative also serves as a reminder that lasting environmental benefits depend on continued care, protection of young trees and community participation. Through such partnerships, Recolte hopes to contribute to a future where thriving businesses, healthy communities and environmental responsibility grow together.
