MAASAI COMMUNITY CARBON TREES AFRICA

We are so proud of our Partners The Massai Center for Regenerative Pastoralism for handling the difficult situation in Kenya right now. So far, Covid 19 has not affected our African Tree friends but they are quarantined in the village of Enkutoto Nalala. Thank goodness everyone is ok. On top of Covid, you might have heard that Africa has been plagued lately by a form of locust that i sliterrally wreaking havoc on communities. Hundreds of millions of locusts. Imagine the apocalyptic scene playing out right now. It's downright scary like from a horror movie. Once again, luckily, the indigenous people with whom we are working have not had any issues with this wierd and destructive problem affecting a large portion of Africa. 

Now more than ever, we must keep planting and maintaing the trees in this fragile and important Equatorial region of our planet. So many iconic people and animals are depending on regenerating the local ecosystems. We beleive the people with whom we are working are capable of turning the tide in favor of survival and can thrive in time as they grow in more sustainable ways and begin to enjoy the positive benefits of the trees we are planting. Health goes hand in hand with how we treat our Mother Earth. We are honored to keep working and striving to make a difference with every tree you sponsor. Stay tuned for more pictures and updates on the conidtion of the trees next report. 

Thank you for your continued support. 

Our planting partners in Kenya continue to collaborate with us to reforest their pasture lands in order to regenerate their soils, food supplies and rain cycles. We are honroed to be able to continue to support these Maasai warriors who have struggled through years of drought and famine and are now enjoying the hope that comes with rain and planting more trees.

In combination with efforts to practice more holistic grazing practices for livestock, which is the heart of the Maasai way of life, planting trees has become a cornerstone of regenerative agricultural practices. Little by little, Maasai communities are recognizing that they have choices and power about how to solve their own climate crises and create a better life for themselves and their children. It is a long process to grow trees in these harsh conditions, but with regular paid upkeep and inspiration to keep planting, we are encouraged that our work is making a difference.

Thank you for your continued support for this ambitious project and we hope to report that we have obtained larger grant funding for even more expansion and empowerment in this needy region of the world.
