Jambojet has partnered with the Eldoret Water and Sanitation Company (ELDOWAS) to distribute tree seedlings to customers across its network, including Kisumu, Eldoret, and Nairobi.
During Mazingira Day, Jambojet distributed tree seedlings to customers at various airport stations nationwide. These seedlings were provided free of charge to encourage individuals to contribute to reforestation efforts and combat climate change. Jambojet believes this initiative will empower customers to create a more sustainable future for Kenya.
Tree planting took place simultaneously in Eldoret and Mangrove planting in Mombasa. This initiative aligns with both organizations’ commitment to environmental sustainability and community engagement.
ELDOWAS, a water and sanitation provider in Eldoret, shares Jambojet’s commitment to environmental conservation. “Everyone has a role to play in protecting our planet,” said Mr. Peter Kibet, Managing Director at ELDOWAS. “Through our partnership with Jambojet, we can reach a wider audience and encourage more people to participate in reforestation efforts.”
The distributed tree seedlings are native to Kenya and well-suited to the local climate. By planting these seedlings, customers can help combat climate change, restore forests, protect biodiversity, and improve air quality.
“We’re delighted to partner with ELDOWAS on this important initiative,” said Karanja Ndegwa, CEO and MD at Jambojet. “As a responsible organization, Jambojet is committed to protecting the environment and supporting sustainable practices, especially in the aviation industry. By providing tree seedlings to our customers, we hope to inspire them to take action and help create a greener future for Kenya, even as we celebrate customer service week.”
This initiative is part of The Aviation Challenge which Jambojet is taking part in. This is the first step to ensure climate literacy among their passengers in a way that is easy for them to understand. The Aviation Challenge, previously referred to as The Sustainable Flight Challenge, is a competition designed to challenge the aviation industry by stimulating and accelerating innovation and change across their operations. Its main objective is to reduce the carbon footprint of SkyTeam members, minimise their environmental impact and generate solutions across all areas of aviation.
