MAASAI COMMUNITY CARBON TREES AFRICA

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.

We are happy to report that it is raining in Kenya as is the custom, the short rains of November qare falling int he Great Rift Valley where lies Enkutoto Nahalala and the trees we are currently manging witht he care of members of the Massai Center for Regenerative Pastoralism/ We have been following the growth of the trees and even had to resport to the women watering them several months ago when the rains ID NOT come as scheduled to the area. 

That's why planting more trees int his region is so important. Trees regulate the local and global hydrological cycles. Because of such widepsread and incessant deforestation in Kenya, rain cycles are too little or sometimes even too much. Dalmas Tiampati, Maasai community director in Kenya, has recently explained that some areas of the Great Rift valley are suffering landslides right now due to the high quantity of rainfall. 

We are happy to report that we continue to send funds to our Kenya Tree Friends and are deep in search of international funding for this project to scale. For now, the generous support of our Global Giving community keeps the project alive and thriving with hope for the future of Community Carbon Trees Kenya.

THANK YOU.
