The symbolism of the Acacia tree comes from the characteristics of the Acacia Tree. It is a tree that has very deep roots, a large trunk and its foliage creates a beautiful umbrella where birds come to nest. This tree is a wonderful matrix for life and this is what we want these lovely children to have as part of their birthright.. They deserve nothing less. The NGO in Embu is called Acacia and has the status in Kenya as a charitable organization that the people of Kenya can make contributions.
