Set in the heart of the Cherangany-Elgeyo Hills Ecosystem, Kaptagat Forest is more than just a stretch of green. It is a lifeline. As one of Kenya's important water towers, the Kaptagat Forest ecosystem feeds rivers and springs that flow far beyond our borders, sustaining communities from Eldoret to Turkana, and even reaching the distant shores of Lake Victoria and the Nile. Its water irrigates farms, powers industries, and supplies towns and cities. But Kaptagat’s value runs deeper than water. The forest supports livelihoods, preserves tradition, and provides plants with medicinal value. For the communities that take care of it, the forest is a sacred ground, woven into cultural rites and everyday life.
