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 in drylands.

Happy to see that the local farmers in Mpwayungu district have already planted over 50,000 Gliricidia trees, this has been achieved through an innovative, community driven and led approach to reforestation, ensuring that local farmers are the architects and managers of the project on the ground, which creates benefits for themselves and their families, for the land, and through climate change mitigation, for the planet.
