We are hoping to plant more trees this coming rainy season in Kenya. We are gathering funds to be able to buy approximately 300 avocado and mango trees and plant them near neighboring communities to Enkutoto Nahalala. Dalmas and the families are experienced and ready to expand to neighboring communties step by step. In addition, the community continues to maintain the tyrees we have already planted making sure that the cows and sheep graze in rotational forms and stay away from zones where trees are still s0omewhat small.
The rotational grazing practices that accompany these planting projects have proven quite successful thus we are keen to expand wioth the help´of our sponsors.
We are also considering to form a eco tourism tree planting trip perhaps in 2028.

Rains on the way to Kenya

Thankfully, we recieved a recernt re´port that the rains have begun in Kenya and everyone is so happy. Truly our community of Massai partiocipanmts believe that plantying all the trees and caring for them with the increased shade and coolness, is helping their villages receive more rainfall and actually recharge their water reservoirs. They already see a little water in a local stream that used to be totalñly burning under the sun. Now the trees are getting bigger and actual shade slows the evo transpiration. In addition, they have witness more birds and aniamls running around as well as healthier livestock given the cooler feeling around the village.
We are proud of our work with these communities and evern while we are not receving much financial support for this project, we remain in touch and hold space for our farming families tyo keep the tree planting motivation and follow up care with enthusiasm.
Thank you for your support !

Expansion with new groups in Kenya
By Jennifer Leigh Smith | Project Leader
We are thrilled to announce that we are exploring a collaboration with a new group of tree planters in Kenya presented top us by our leader Dalmas. We would like to combine our humble efforts with the people from Kenya especially the MASSAI warrior women who produce so many trees in our nursery. We do not have sufficient funding to pay to plant all of them this year plus transport them so we are looking to donate them to another group who does have volunteer manpower so we do not lose the trees this year 2025. They eventually reach a point where their roots are too big and root bound to plant and its better to take advantage of all the good work the women did by giving these trees to another group who has ravaged land in need of planting and no way to buy the trees. We will be contributing to transport costs and everyone is so excited to have such good biodiversaity to share with a neighboring community.
Thank you for your continued support !
