Plant 40,000 Trees In Northern Rwanda

Dear Esteemed Donors,

I am pleased to share an update on the reforestation project in Land 7, located in the Butangamundu Hill area of the Burega Sector, Rulindo District, Northern Rwanda. We successfully completed the planting of trees in May 2024, with a total of over 5,000 Eucalyptus saplings planted. These trees are growing well, as you can see in the attached photos.

Project Overview:

This initiative is part of RWAYDAVO's broader effort to enhance reforestation in the Butangamundu Hill area, contributing to local biodiversity, soil stabilization, and improved environmental conditions for the surrounding communities. The project was strategically designed to address the environmental challenges in this region by improving soil fertility and providing long-term environmental and economic benefits. Eucalyptus trees were chosen for their rapid growth and suitability to the local climate.

The project area, Land 7, is located at the following coordinates:
Latitude: -1.748808°
Longitude: 30.058557°

Current Activities:

To overcome  challenges and ensure the long-term success of the project, we are implemented a series of corrective measures and ongoing activities:

• Regular Inspections: We are conducting frequent monitoring to track the health and growth of the saplings.
• Soil and Water Management: Continued efforts in soil rehabilitation and water conservation practices, including the restoration of terracing, are in place.
• Community Engagement: Local communities are being actively involved in the project, with educational initiatives focused on sustainable forestry practices.

We remain committed to the project's success and to achieving the environmental and community goals set out at its inception.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Together, we are making a meaningful impact on the environment and the local community.

Kind regards,
Jean Damascene Uwizeyimana
President, RWAYDAVO

Dear Patrons,

We are extremely grateful for all the support you have provided so far for our Rwanda Forestation Project. Your generosity has been instrumental in helping us make progress.

We are excited to share with you the progress report on the trees we have planted in Land Six. The saplings were planted at the location Rwanda: 724+ CHC Mugambazi (Google Plus code).

It has now been 20 months since our last tree planting in March 2023. The land currently hosts a total of 28,500 trees, with 99% eucalyptus. The planted trees are healthy and thriving, as shown in the attached photos.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our supporters, the Burega sector leaders, students from Muyanza Primary School, and their valuable and active participation in this forestation project. We also appreciate the efforts of RWAYDAVO Volunteers and project workers who are currently helping with the maintenance.

We continue to carry out regular maintenance of the trees, which requires careful attention and supervision to ensure they grow well. This maintenance includes proper pruning to keep the trees healthy and strong, terracing to conserve water, and mulching around the base of each tree (about 6 inches) to protect their roots.

We kindly request that you consider making a generous donation to our project so we can continue our work and achieve our goals. You may also consider setting up a monthly recurring donation, which will provide consistent support for our ongoing efforts. The link for monthly donations is provided below in the report.

Thank you once again for everything you have done for our project. We look forward to your continued support.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Jean Damascene Uwizeyimana
RWAYDAVO President
