Oloolua Forest Needs You Right Now

Oloolua Forest is 681 hectares of indigenous forest, one of Nairobi's last natural forests. It sustains water, biodiversity, and livelihoods for over 4 million people. Yet 25 kilometres of its perimeter remain unprotected.

The Run for Oloolua is our solution. The race is part conservation mission, part community movement, and part festival.

Target: KES 70,000,000
To fund 25 kilometres of protective fencing, protecting every kilometre of Oloolua for the next generation.
