Context & problem

YALI Network Kano organised the Tree Planting Project 2025 with the Kano State Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, part of the state's five-million-tree campaign, and a Back-to-School Drive in October 2025 with partner organisations.

Why it mattered

Both programmes put young people to work on visible, local problems: tree cover and school attendance.
