teamwork
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 !

Rains in Kenya
By Jennifer Smith | Project Leader
We are super proud of our community leader in Kenya project who has been invited to teach at a university in Nairobi concerning what he has been learnng and putting into practice about silvo pastoral grazing. Mixing the trees weith the goats and cows has been challenging in numerous ways and many of them do die due to drought and stomping damage. Nevertheless, Dalmas remains commited and continues to help us empower the community to care for the baby trees and also replace them when they die within the first 4 years.
It is dry season for now and we await more updated fotos of tree growth and fotos of the nursery as we continue to produce compost and trees with the womern and youth of the community. We are also exploring replicating to a new community with additional leadership on the ground to help support everyone in the community to conitiue with fair pay tree planting and long term follow up. We look forward to contued work especially as we expand into new communities and create fundraising opportunities with future eco tourism. Oncve the rains start in April 2025, we will beging to review all trees and perform any necessary maintainance for continued growth.
