Challenge

Individuals who are interested in renting land for whatever purpose entice indigenous women with money stating the fact that the trees on their land is a non-fruit bearing trees, this avail them the opportunity to cut down this trees without any opposition thereafter plant their crops, at the end they pay the women peanuts and contribute to carbon emission.

Solution

We will work with indigenous women in local community to reclaim their land, protect their rights and plant fruit bearing trees that will continuously provide fruits, the women will then sell the fruits when they mature thereby improving their standard of living.

Long-Term Impact

As trees are planted to protect the rights of indigenous women in the community it will lead to self-sufficiency when the trees fully mature, the trees will curb C02 in the atmosphere as temperature continue to rise and the impact of climate change becomes inequitable it is evident that neither windmill or solar panel can absorb C02.The trees will provide food, shelter, mitigate soil erosion and generate sustainable source of income for the community.
