    We are from the rural part of the Republic of Kenya i.e west part of Kenya bordering Lake Victoria the second largest fresh water lake in the world. We are a small non profit making self Help group. One of our activities is on climate and biodiversity improvement through reforestation partnering with public schools due to security and space. We face challenge of buying citified seeds from KEFRI .
    We request that you help to get seed money to expand the project.
    The idea will bring livelihood to the community households and at the same time will reclaim the lost glory of friendly environment.
    We appreciate your response.
