Rehabilitation of Mt. Kenya Sites
The project endeavors to mobilize communities around 7 traditional sacred sites all situated around the Mt Kenya World Heritage Site to reclaim, demarcate and conserve them for posterity. This will also sustain their significance as important ceremonial localities for the different communities when performing religious and traditional rituals.
Other activities include re-afforestation, gazetting of the sites and erecting signage and spreading publicity.
