Our project aims to conserve vulnerable tropical forests by working with subsistence farmers in Kenya to promote sustainable agriculture. Research shows that protecting these forests is essential to preventing irreversible climate breakdown. Since 2007, we’ve helped farmers grow new food and timber crops that enhance biodiversity and reduce pressure on the threatened forests, ensuring long-term sustainability.

Local women receive decent sustainable employment potting up carbon-hungry seedlings in the nursery. These are some of the poorest people in the world and yet they are doing some of the most important planetary saving work. Thanks for helping us do this :-)
