Plant 40,000 Trees In Northern Rwanda

Dear Patrons,

From Sept. 12-16, we’re celebrating the power of the crowd! When you donate up to $50.

This week, we're inviting you to team up with us in celebrating the power of the crowd for GlobalGiving's Little by Little campaign. From today until Friday, GlobalGiving will match online donations up to $50 at 50%, making your donation go even further! 

Donate today to support Plant 20,000 Trees In Northern Rwanda project: (https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/plant-20-000-trees-in-northern-rwanda/ The goal of this project is to raise awareness of environmental degradation and also to take concrete action to protect the environment. Those actions have mainly focused on 1) tree seedling production to assist in reforestation and 2) training local people which are focused on the environment: tree nursery techniques, climate change, and agro-forestry.

Rwandan youth Development and Voluntary organization is having more than 15,000 saplings ready to be planted. This includes Grevelia robust, passion fruits, tree tomatoes, and eucalyptus. We have included Eucarptus because Rulindo District authorities oblige our organization to plant those trees because the area we are going to plan them is a mountain area and there is a high risk of erosion and sliding and Eucalyptus trees have a good reputation in the prevention of land sliding and erosion in this area. Eucalyptus trees are known to play a significant role in the conservation of the environment by protecting soils against erosion and landslides. 

We are planning to plant 10,000 trees within two months from September 2022 and to do this successfully, we will need ongoing funds for the regular maintenance of the saplings and the land. The maintenance will require maximum care and supervision to make sure that trees are growing well. After the planting, we will also do fencing.   

We request you to donate generously to our project so that we can keep working and achieve our goals. You could also consider doing a monthly recurring donation for our project, which will help us with our ongoing work.  The link for the monthly recurring donation is mentioned below in the report. With your generosity, we’ll be able to plant additional 10,000 trees as planned.

We thank you for everything that you have done for our project, and we look forward to your continued support.

Thanks and Best Regards.

Jean Damascene UWIZEYIMANA
