Plant 40,000 Trees In Northern Rwanda

Dear Patrons,

We are very happy to thank you very much for all the support that you have provided so far for our Rwanda forestation project.

We are so excited to share with you the progress of sapling planting activities for land six, this time; Friday the 17th, and Saturday the 18th of March 2023, we planted around 12,000 trees in land six.  We planted saplings at location Rwanda: 724+ CHC Mugambazi (Google Plus code). This area’s name is Mugambazi (colline Mwite). Because this area I a hill area, the anti-erosion holes created before the tree planting activities will help to maintain water after the rain, hence our trees will grow quickly. We would also like to inform you that,  it started raining the next day after the two days' planting activities. There is no risk that some saplings might not grow as planned. 

We take this opportunity to thank students from Burega sector leaders and communities for their active participation. We would like also to thank Muyanza Primary school, Burega primary school, and Butangamundu primary school students and leaders for their valuable and active participation in this forestation project. In this activity,  During the project activities, 35 RWAYDAVO Volunteers and project workers helped in these two days' planting activities to be successful. The trees we have planted this time  100% are Eucalyptus. 

For fencing Land 6, we will start activities soon after land six is complete. The detailed report will be shared after the planting of trees for land six will be completed. We will be using fencing the land because we want to protect the land 6 in which the trees are planted from animals like goats, cows, and sheep, as well as from the disturbances caused by humans. After all these activities we will do maintenance to make sure our trees planted are growing well.

To keep our activities going well as planned, we 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. This activity will also include pruning the area properly to keep the trees healthy and strong, Water is food for our trees and plants – that’s why effective watering is one of the most important ways to care for and maintain, so watering might be needed during the dry season in some lands. Also, as soil compaction prevents water and oxygen from infiltrating the tree’s roots, we will make sure that the soil is not compacted. We will be doing mulch about 6 inches from the base of the tree so that we cannot damage the roots of our trees. We will do replacement of those who may die because of different factors, 

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.

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

Thanks & Best Regards.
