The Meaning

What is Ka-Finje Tu?

Ka-Finje Tu means “fifty shillings only.”

It is EarthLungs' people-powered restoration initiative, built to make environmental action something anyone can take part in. Your contribution goes directly into restoring forests, protecting biodiversity, and creating sustainable work in the communities living alongside these ecosystems.

You may not always have time to plant a tree yourself — but you can still be part of the solution. Thousands of ordinary Kenyans are proving that small contributions create extraordinary impact.

The Process

How It Works

01

You contribute

KES 50 buys one tree — sent by M-Pesa, no forms, no account to open.

02

We plant

EarthLungs raises the seedling in our nurseries and plants it on your behalf.

03

Communities nurture

Local people are employed to tend and protect the tree until it stands on its own.

04

The landscape returns

Ecosystems recover and livelihoods grow alongside them.
