Since we launched this project in March, 2025, we have planted some 500 trees along the waterways of Natitingou in the north of Benin, and created seedlings from the hardiest trees that already grow along the water's edge. By continuously growing resistent seedlings such as these, and encouraging the local population to join us in planting trees we will help preserve the trees, the earth and the waterways in this part of the world. Thank you for your help in making this work possible.
We are also starting the work of sensitizing the local population, especially the women, to the dangers of cutting trees, the need to use fuel-efficient stoves that use less wood to cook food, and the importance of replanting trees along the water's edge to preserve the soil and the waterways. The forest rangers are working with us in this effort and over time we hope to restore the waterways to full health and agricultural usefulness.
