The Naija CAP Project: Nigeria Clean Air Project​

10,000 Trees Planting Campaign

The Naija CAP Project, also known as the 10,000 Trees Campaign, is a bold environmental initiative launched by the Kadosh Initiative for Justice and Environmental Development (KIJED) to combat deforestation, air pollution, and climate change in Edo and Delta States, Nigeria.
