Vetiver is an amazing grass. Maybe when these communities are sufficiently back on their feet, they can also make perfumes or essential oils using the roots of the grass. Another source of income!

The govt lets Kenyans down. Why have they not helped Kenyans all over the country plant this grass or creat awareness may be we could have saved million of cattle from dying and humans. may be also saving our rivers.

Thank you for your Input -That is why stories like this are being told, to create awareness and spread knowledge to communities without prior knowledge.

I see this all over the world. They complain about climate change and want everyone to drive electric cars but don't care to tell the people how to do what they need to do like vetiver grass. I concluded all governments hate their people.
