Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

900 families will be more self-sufficient since trees decrease damage from hurricanes. The farmers will be able to plant crops again and feed their families. The entire earth benefits from the effects of reforestation in reducing climate change.

Project Message

"For us, there is nothing more serious than planting trees. Trees are our future. We now have the power to make better lives for ourselves."
- Joseph, Member of a reforestation organization
