B. About the research project

In a significant step toward environmental restoration, Viva 365 Insurance Brokers planted 20 indigenous trees at the Wangari Maathai Institute for Peace and Environmental Studies (WMI) on May 17, 2025. The event marked Viva's adoption of a half-acre meditation site as part of the Landscape Repair and Transformation project (LANSRET), with a three-year commitment to maintain the area. This partnership addresses the challenge of invasive species that have threatened the institute's gardens.
