Hundreds of moringa trees are with us in preparation for Earth Day 2020 planting. However, something scary and deadly has now delayed these plans: the COVID-19 threat. This virus is spreading like wildfire and as of course our planting is suspended, but we will see closer to the date. We are nurturing and caring for the baby moringa trees in the hope for better times.
Coronavirus is a killer particularly because it causes a collapse of the respiratory system and lungs, meaning its victims need oxygen more than ever. These plants are big providers of oxygen.
To date, studies show that Moringa oleifera may lead to modest reductions in blood sugar and cholesterol. It may also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and protect against arsenic toxicity. Moringa leaves are also highly nutritious and should be beneficial for people who are lacking in essential nutrients.
Please help us collect funds so once we are safe to plant these trees, they can help oxygenate Pakistan, as well as the other nutrients and benefits it carries.
