The distribution was officiated by the CHPF programs manager Miss Addah Alela on Monday 07/07/2025 and expected to end by Friday 11/07/2025.

This collaboration (Cooperate Social Responsibility) aims at elevating the community economically based on the benefits of the plant as: The coconut tree provides food, fuel, cosmetics, folk medicine and building materials, among many other uses. The inner flesh of the mature seed, as well as the coconut milk extracted from it, forms a regular part of the diets of many people in the tropics and subtropics.
