Growing trees against all odds Neema’s story

Neema has seen first hand how deforestation has affected the environment in her village. Only 30 years ago, when she was a child, her village was surrounded by trees.

Harvesting almost all the rainwater in this rain season

Our bunds in Arusha are harvesting almost all the rainwater in this rain season. The half moon bunds help to capture rainwater and prevent it to run off and cause erosion. By harvesting rainwater the water balance in the soil will restore which will increase the water availability for the seeds still present in the soil. The seeds will get a chance to sprout and regreen the area. In some very degraded areas, grass seeds are sown if there aren’t enough

Bringing hope to the community during the dry season

Our regreening projects bring a massive impact to the community and the environment.
