Nyaradzo Targets Planting 500 Million Trees By 2026
Nyaradzo Life Assurance Company has set a target to plant 500 million trees by 2026 to replenish forests and protect the environment.
The diversified insurance group has partnered with the Friends of The Environment (FOTE) initiative to carry out tree-planting activities that comprise walkathons.
FOTE has established tree nurseries throughout the country to support the 500 million walkathon tree planting programme.
Scores of people recently walked 20km from Hwange town to Lukosi Secondary School to raise awareness about the need to plant trees.
They planted 50 trees at Lukosi Secondary School as part of Nyaradzo’s corporate social responsibility programmes.
