Farmer Profile: Immaculate

Immaculate was one of the first farmers to plant tree saplings with the DNRC in 2007. Four years later, her trees are now over 3 feet tall and produce enough firewood that she doesn't have to buy any at the market.

Forestry training & finance for 300 farms in Kenya

Kenya Economic Development

Kenya's arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) face worsening cycles of poverty, deforestation and environmental degradation. Millions of people face drought and crop failure. We equip subsistence farmers in ASALs with materials, expertise and capital so they can restore their land's productivity and long-term health. Our farmers: improve soil, tree cover and agricultural yields; harvest trees sustainably for fuel; and generate income from tree products. For $25k we'll plant 120k trees on 300 farms.
