Residents of Sita village near the Mida Creek in Dabaso ward, Kilifi County, have intensified the restoration of the mangrove forest after securing funds from the World Bank through the government.

The Sita Umoja Creek Self-Help group received Sh4.9 million and set up a mangrove tree nursery that has yielded at least 78,000 seedlings in six months.
