Moringa Oleifera, often called the “miracle tree,” is a deeply nourishing plant that supports the body, mind, and spirit. It’s like nature’s multivitamin, packed with healing gifts for communities and individuals alike.
Here’s why Moringa is so important, especially in everyday, human terms:
A Nutritional Powerhouse
Moringa leaves are rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, and C, as well as calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, and protein. This makes it a vital source of nourishment, especially in areas where food insecurity or malnutrition is a concern. Think of it as a natural supplement that grows on trees—literally.
Strengthens the Body’s Defense mechanisms
Moringa is loaded with antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties. These help the body fight off illness, reduce swelling, and protect cells from damage. It’s like a shield for your immune system, helping you stay strong and resilient.
Supports Heart and Blood Health
Regular consumption of Moringa may help lower cholesterol, regulate blood pressure, and balance blood sugar levels. This is especially important in preventing heart disease and managing diabetes, which are growing concerns in many communities.
A Healing Ally
In traditional medicine, Moringa has been used to treat digestive issues, infections, wounds, and even skin conditions. Its antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties make it a natural remedy for many common ailments.
A Gift for Communities
Beyond individual health, Moringa is a sustainable, fast-growing tree that thrives in arid regions like parts of Kenya. It can be used for food, medicine, animal feed, water purification, and even soil restoration. It’s a symbol of resilience and provision—offering life where resources are scarce.
Nourishment for the Soul
In many cultures, Moringa is more than just a plant—it’s a symbol of healing, hope, and abundance. Its presence in a garden or community farm can be a reminder of God’s provision and the power of creation to sustain and restore life.

Let’s Act Before It’s Too Late

Climate change isn’t waiting—and neither should we. From unpredictable weather to rising temperatures, the signs are clear. Early preparation means stronger communities, protected livelihoods, and a safer future for our children.

Whether it’s planting trees, conserving water, or educating others, every small step matters. Let’s unite in action, not just reaction. Because climate change affects us all—and together, we can build resilience before the storm.

Tembo e Twiga – Day 13: everything in its right place

After a few days in tourist areas, we’re back to the real projects — the rural realities, the stories I truly love.

This is the first of three days we’ll spend with Treedom Tanzania. With us are Paul, Lenana, and Gabriel, explaining every step of their work.

Treedom’s work is easy to explain but powerful in its impact: they collaborate with local reforestation partners — in this case, Matonyok — to plant fruit trees. These trees not only absorb CO₂ and help the environment, but they also produce fruit that can be sold, creating a sustainable economy where before there was none.

It’s a win-win.

Today we met a farmer who used to grow only maize and potatoes. Now, thanks to avocado and papaya trees, he has significantly increased his income — and even created jobs for others, who help with harvesting and selling the fruit.

Even Our Discovery Travel has its own forest on Treedom. That’s where all the trees we plant through our Tembo and Twiga crowdfunding campaign will go.

Tomorrow we’ll visit more farmers, discover more stories, and meet more people.

This is what I love about our journeys.

Right now, we’re at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, 1700 meters above sea level — and it’s really cold. Tomorrow’s daytime lows are expected to be around 10–11°C. Tomorrow night we’ll probably die of hypothermia.

It’s been nice knowing you.

Day 3: The Final Stretch of the Journey for Water!

Today marks the grand finale of our transformative walk—from the vibrant heart of Loitokitok town to the cherished landscapes of Iltilal. With each step, we honor the veins of life that water our lands, nourish our people, and connect our shared destiny.

This isn’t just a walk. It’s a movement. A call to protect, safeguard, and revive our water catchment areas. These sacred spaces deserve our collective guardianship—not just today, but every day.

Let’s keep the momentum flowing. Let’s ensure water flows not only in our rivers but in the legacy we leave behind.

Day 1 — The Journey for Water Begins!
23/7/2025

Today, something truly inspiring flowed through the heart of East Africa. Early this morning, the Journey for Water officially kicked off—a powerful cross-border initiative sponsored by WWF to shine a light on water conservation and unity.

Flagged off by the District Commissioner of Tanzania at Kimengelia, Rongai, this journey brought together passionate teams from WWF Kenya and Tanzania, Matonyok Organization 🇰🇪🇹🇿, RUA Kenya and Tanzania, alongside the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the German cooperation, and the governments of Kenya and Tanzania.

Together, we walked along the Kimengelia River, standing up for our shared commitment to protect and restore this vital water source.

Checkpoint 51 marked the end of Day 1—the perfect start to this three-day trek that’s all about action, collaboration, and resilience.

This isn’t just a walk. It’s a movement. A symbol of regional solidarity and a promise to safeguard water for future generations.
