In Minyalala village, climate change has devastated once-fertile soil, impacting the 9,000-strong community’s ability to grow food and earn income. Malamaine Badiane, a Senegalese Exchange Volunteer in Kenya, led the Minyalala Green project, aimed at tackling these challenges within his community during his one year of service. The project includes establishing a fruit tree nursery for apple, mango, yellow passion fruit, and pawpaw trees, training farmers in sustainable land management, and constructing a check dam to manage water resources.
