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.

Neem trees grow surprisingly fast. These ones are only around 9 years old and already are close to producing a closed canopy. Due to its antiseptic properties, Neem timber is resistant to attack from termites and so is highly prized as a building material in this part of Kenya. Each

Casuarina in Boré. We love this tree because its drought resistant, its fast growing, it produces good pole wood after only 5 years and each pole can sell for up to $10 so the farmers only need to harvest around 15 to pay for one years secondary education for one of the daughters.
