Forest Garden Program

Forest Garden Program, Senegal

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
