Helping reconstruct a street boy emerging from the tough life in the Kenyan streets is not about the talk, it’s about the walk. It’s not about the what, it’s about the how. And it’s never about the will, it’s about the will. But how can you get it right if you are on the wrong part of the world? Naivasha Horticultural fair has been doing it and will do it. Their generous contribution in many areas has helped enormously. They have involved themselves in plentiful charitable projects which are of great help to the community at large.
One of the greatest secrets of the rich and mighty is giving to the needy part of what they profit. This not only goes in tandem with the saying that “For every action, there must be some reaction” but also unleashes some power that the smartest of all investors in the world has never been able to explain. This could not necessarily be a reason the hortifair but the greater need for the horticultural growers and exporters to look at the problems of the local people with a human eye.
The corporate involvement in development in this regard has been left a-new concept based on the traditional belief that it is only the government that is mandated with the responsibility of initiating development. NH Fair has in this regard created a great possibility in a short time since it takes the government quite a while to study the feasibility of any needed project before approving and hence implementing it.
The Naivasha Horticultural Fair, which marks the joint initiative of horticultural growers and related stakeholders in the industry, will be held in September. The aim still stands as convening to raise some funds towards the needy in the communities within which they operate.
Naivasha Horticultural Fair started in 2003 as a much limited initiative attracting a small bundle of the industry investors. The few participants in the fair barely filled the provided space and were scantily spread in it that it could take only an ambitious and optimistic person to look up to a bright future for the event.
With the passing of time, the event nowadays attracts a greater number than ever experienced in the past, encompassing both foreign and local investors who are ready to lift the kitty. The observation that has been made indicates that company directors have been won into the fair that their presence and participation is forthcoming.
This year’s event comes at a time when the country has faced the most traumatizing experience and tremendous challenges of global financial crisis/credit crunch and ugly famine. All the stakeholders of the sector felt the effects.
The truth is, flower farms are comprehensive partner in waste management issues and environmental preservations that always strives for the highest quality possible. They cooperate with governments to set up long-term solutions that help generate income to the country.
It is worth noting that the Naivasha Horticultural fair team has played a formidable role in supporting different clusters of people and groups. There are several projects that the group has been involved in touching the lives of the local residents. Their contribution has been felt in such activities as road construction, community health projects, social ventures such as football clubs, recreation centres, educational programmes but just to mention a few.
As this goes on, it is anticipated that the fair will continue to brighten more lives in Naivasha and make it a symbol of human effort of supporting one another for a better tomorrow.
