Why Mazingira Day Matters
A Healthy Environment Is Everyone’s Responsibility
Mazingira Day is observed annually on 10th October in Kenya as a national public holiday dedicated to environmental conservation and sustainability. The Swahili word mazingira means “the environment.”
The day calls on individuals, communities, institutions and businesses to work together to restore forests, protect water sources, reduce pollution and preserve natural resources for present and future generations.
At its heart is the principle that every Kenyan has a right to a clean and healthy environment and a responsibility to help safeguard it.
A healthy environment is the foundation of a healthy society, a resilient economy and a sustainable future.
