An ambitious project aims to restore degraded Gwassi Hills in Homa Bay county, where a landslide in April 2024 killed three children and a woman, and destroyed homes, farms, and infrastructure.

CUTS International Nairobi, in collaboration with Voices for Just Climate Action (VCA), local government, and Victory Firms, will build gabions and plant trees to combat soil erosion and prevent disaster.
