| Citizen Planet | Rural communities help preserve Nairobi’s watersheds |

In the quiet rhythm of Kenya's landscape lies the unseen engine that waters and sustains urban life in the country's major towns and cities. Every drop flowing downstream and every standing tree carries with it the lifeblood of cities and towns. On our weekend series, Citizen Planet, reporter Agnes Oloo explores how rural livelihoods and urban water systems are deeply interconnected, revealing how farmers in these watersheds quietly sustain up to 95% of Nairobi’s water supply through responsible land and farming practices.
