AFC Leopards fans show their passion for football and the environment by planting trees.

Twelve-time Football Kenya Federation Premier League champions AFC Leopards boasts a fanbase that extends far beyond the confines of the stadium.

With football being the world's most popular sport, it comes as no surprise that the club's dedicated supporters across the country find unique ways to come together for a noble cause.

In a remarkable display of unity and environmental consciousness, the fans of AFC Leopards Kayole Branch on Monday banded together to embark on a mission to preserve the environment through tree planting campaign.

Their initiative aligns with the call made by President William Ruto during the National Tree Planting Day, which encourages citizens to contribute to the country's environmental sustainability.

"In honor of the State's tree planting national holiday, we've successfully planted 200 seedlings at Donholm Roundabout," proudly announced the fans on their Facebook page.

The tree planting drive initiated by AFC Leopards Kayole Branch aligns perfectly with the government's ambitious plans to grow 15 billion trees by 2030.

The overarching goal is to increase the forest cover in the country from the current 7% to a more sustainable 10%.

As the world grapples with the consequences of deforestation and climate change, initiatives like this one are crucial steps towards a greener and more environmentally conscious future.

AFC Leopards Kayole Branch, one of the most active fan clubs supporting the club, was established back in 2011.

This pivotal moment coincided with AFC Leopards recognizing the invaluable contribution of their passionate fanbase towards the growth and success of the team.
