In the last few years, many parts of the world, including Kenya, have experienced rising temperatures and erratic weather patterns. Patricia Kombo, 23, is a climate change activist, and she has decided to do something to salvage the situation. During the World Environment day in 2019, Patricia led tree planting exercises in two schools in Makueni in a bid to encourage the pupils to take care of the environment. “We hope to involve the 4K clubs in various schools to raise awareness and make youth aware of the importance of environmental conservation,” she says. Her organisation has partnered with others such as Still-a-Mum, whose members sometimes accompany her to tree planting events, but she is dismayed that few political leaders have shown keen interest in her campaign.
