In future when our children awake,

Step out in a bright morning,

Smell the freshness of nature’s fragrance,

See the blooming and the blossoming flowers.

Touch the dew droplets on green leaves,

Feel the sensation of young sunrays,

It was a great honor for the University of Nairobi to be chosen as the host to launch the Rapid Adaptation Mainstreaming Program (RAMP) and screening of World Resource Institute (WRI's) stories on 8th Feb 2023 at Taifa hall
