Summary:
This radio documentary explores the vital role of the Nzoia River, tracing its journey from the Cherang’ani Hills to Lake Victoria, as it sustains communities and nourishes the land across five counties in Kenya. The river powers agriculture, providing water for crops like maize and sugarcane, serving as a lifeline for countless farmers. However, the Nzoia faces challenges from pollution, deforestation, and climate change, leading to flooding and environmental degradation. Despite this, community-driven efforts in reforestation and sustainable practices offer hope for restoring the river’s health, ensuring its survival for future generations.
