It has been a great year so far at our Lake Magadi Camp. 50,000 trees have been planted out and the local Masai have embraced our training program.
25 farmers received leadership and agricultural training by ACT employees. Of the 25, amazingly 6 were women. It was the first time women were allowed to participate in leadership meetings within the Shompole Masai community. Things truly are changing.
Four schools and one clinic received trees and began planting. Over 2000 students are beginning to learn about the need for conservation. Also, the tree planting process will ultimately provide the schools with an income to pay teachers.
Since we are growing and our nursery is expanding we are in even greater need to get water to the local communities. Dams, boreholes and irrigation channels are needed to ensure a viable water supply for the local farmers. The water is used for drinking, bathing and planting.
Thank you for your continued support as your support is helping change the lives of rural African farmers, one tree at a time!
