Tree planting

In January 2020, we started planting trees, a mixture of fruit and indigenous trees, on the grounds of local schools and in select villages in Monze district.

As of October 2025, we have planted over 9,000 trees. More importantly, we have provided education to our recipients on how to care for their trees and have made follow up visits to monitor progress.

The goal of our tree-planting project is to mitigate the impact of future droughts (which could become an increasingly frequent trend) and to help the local villagers become more resilient during times of hardship.
