Detailed description

The Rotaract District 9110 Nigeria through the committee on sustenance of the environment led by Rtr. Raheem Rasheedat and the District Rotaract Representative carried out tree planting exercise in Lagos and Ogun state in conjunction with the presidents of the various Rotaract clubs in both locations. The tree planting exercise for Lagos was done on the 16th of July 2020 at the premises of the Agege maternity center. The exercise was a huge success as it had in attendance various stakeholders of the district and the management of the health facility. The warm reception gotten from the management was a testimony to the impact the project will be having in the premise.

Community assessment: How the project team learned about the community’s needs

we did a survey of the environment and agreed to use the maternity centre as trees will beautify the environment.

Project impact: How the project will help the community after the project ends

• Trees make life nicer. It has been shown that spending time among trees and green spaces reduces the amount of stress that we carry around with us in our daily lives. • Trees can complement the architecture or design of buildings or entire neighbourhoods. • Trees improve our air quality by filtering harmful dust and pollutants such as ozone, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide from the air we breathe.

Sustainability: How the benefits of the project will continue afterward

trees planted will be monitored by the manage ment of the clinic.
