This project helps vulnerable families in Goma, DR Congo, who face climate-related disasters. We will plant thousands of trees and produce organic compost to restore greenery along key city roads and hills. By combating soil erosion and floods, this project builds climate resilience and improves community well-being.
Goma faces rapid deforestation, violent winds, and heavy rains that damage homes and roads. With no proper drainage, stagnant water breeds disease and causes long-term damage. Located in a volcanic zone, the city lacks vegetation to protect its fragile soil. Climate change has made the situation worse, threatening the health and safety of thousands of families.
We will plant climate-resistant trees along roads and vulnerable hillsides, using natural compost created from community waste. This approach reduces erosion, controls runoff, and revives Goma's green cover. Our teams will work with local youth and volunteers to ensure trees grow and are maintained. This sustainable solution brings long-term environmental and social benefits.
In the long run, reforestation will stabilize Goma's environment, reduce disaster risk, and improve public health. Greener spaces mean cleaner air, lower temperatures, and safer roads. Local families will benefit from better living conditions and youth will gain environmental education. This project builds a resilient city prepared to face climate change.
