About Pirespartners
PIRES (Partners in Restoration of Environment for Sustainable Development) is a community based initiative that works with communities to restore and promote environmental conservation activities in Kenya. PIRES was founded by Patrick Muthomi Samuel and Catherine Nyaboke in 2017, while visiting Meru in Central Kenya and after return of Patrick from advanced studies in the United Kingdom(UK). The two met with communities and appreciated the inspiration of young people to restore the deforested areas of Ruiri, Kithima and Kanjai areas in Tigania and Buuri constituencies in Meru county. This was after a decade of shortage of rains, poor harvests and erratic rains with erosions affecting he productivity of the soil.
