Earth Smiles doing what they do best

Earth smiles doing what they do best – making the earth blossom and smile. It is the end of another rain season and more vegetation in our bund site in Esilalei, Arusha. This land was once barren and depleted, but thanks to the bunds we dug with the local communities and salgen.it Justdiggit in 2021, the land has started to regenerate. These bunds filled with rainwater, now boast lush vegetation and contribute to restoring the water balance. Big shoutout to the

14 Million Trees Restored

BIG NEWS: we have successfully brought back 14 million trees in central Tanzania with our Kisiki Hai (FMNR) peut-on prendre 2 cialis 5 mg program that is been implemented by us and Justdiggit.

We work together with local farmers to transform bushes and sprouts into thriving, full -grown trees that will have

Restoring Drylands using Gliricidia Trees

FMNR or as we call it in Kisiki Hai is the main technique we use to restore trees in semi arid lands because it has a very high success rate in drylands and can easily be adapted by the community. In partnership with One Tree Planted and World Resourse Institute we have recently started supporting farmers in addressing poverty, land degradation, and climate change through a little bit of tree planting especially drought tolerant species like Gliricidia Trees which do well

We are on the road again!

During our movie roadshows or the travelling cinema as some call it, we visit hundreds of villages with Justdiggit to explain and teach regreening techniques such as geyimedicals.es Kisiki Hai (FMNNR) and Fanya Juu/Chini.

Farmers learnt the 4 steps of Kisiki Hai (from stump to tree) and get an introduction to a

DIGGING vs NO DIGGING

Digging versus No Digging! No filter needed. In this picture, the positive impact of our bunds is clearly visible. Have you ever wondered why the area around our bunds is green? The bunds enable rainwater to enter the ground more easily, thereby allowing existing seeds in and around the bunds to sprout. Together with our partner Justdiggit, we implemented a Rainwater Harvesting pilot Project in Pembamoto village, Kongwa District. The project which involved some 80 hectare area aimed at bringing back

Include Program for Sustainable Development

The Champions have mastered the regreening knowledge and skills, they will

We talk about Kisiki Hai a lot around here

We talk about Kisiki Hai a lot around here. This is because it is a very simple and fast solution to regreen dry lands. Kisiki Hai has an extremely high survival rate in drylands. In the photo you can clearly see how fast a tree that is being restored by Kisiki Hai can grow in a dry land in just about half an year. Imagine how it will be in 3 years? Together with our partner Justdiggit we have already restored
