Plant Trees – in Kenya trees grow up to 10 times faster than anywhere else on the planet, helping to mitigate climate change at a pace. In a short number of years just 1 tree will absorb ¼ tonne of carbon and other pollutants from the atmosphere. Trees clean the air we all breathe. manufacture precious oxygen, allow biodiversity to flourish, help alleviate hunger, and give new habitat for wildlife. #TreesAreTheKey to healing our world.

Women’s Empowerment – the women’s empowerment group The Mothers of The Forest was formed on the International Day of Forests, 21st March 2018 to combat social isolation, give access to education, and help reduce hunger. The women are now rewriting their future and underpinning it with education. They’ve been given, and planted many thousands of fruit, nut and medicine trees and continue to strengthen their framework of support. As the African proverb says ‘if you educate a woman, you educate a whole community’ – we wish to give countless more women this opportunity.

Build Classrooms – we’ve been working with unsupported schools to replace their often precarious, wood-framed mud huts with safe, solid stone, cool classrooms since April 2017. The reduction in temperature combined with more comfort and an improved ability to hear the lesson, makes an enormous difference to pupil attendance, enjoyment, knowledge retention and ultimately grades – a 14% increase at one of the schools. With every classroom built we plant 4,000 trees on the school compound or very nearby. This delivers multilayered understanding, as everyone is able to observe biodiversity flourish, as they learn how to care for and harvest crops from their fruit, nut and medicine trees.
