Forest Garden Program

Forest Garden Program, Sénégal

Our project aims to create sustainable forest gardens by partnering with local farmers. In a region needing rejuvenation, we train 500 farmers in sustainable land management, develop tree nurseries, and plant 2,000 trees per farmer, for a total of 1,000,000 trees. This initiative not only restores the land but also ensures food security and generates income for the farmers. The project has been recognized with the World Restoration Flagship Award

Modern agriculture techniques often fail to lift farming communities out of poverty, with many in sub-Saharan Africa still living below the poverty line.
Our project empowers farmers by teaching them to diversify their crops and explore new revenue streams, increasing their incomes
