Dear Our Valued Donors,
We are pleased to share an update on the progress of our tree planting project.
The trees planted in March 2026 are growing well, and the farmers are taking good care of them. We are also happy to see that trees planted in previous years have grown into healthy, mature trees, contributing to a greener and healthier environment for our communities.
We are now looking forward to our next tree planting season in February 2027. We sincerely hope for your continued support as we work together to conserve nature, protect our environment, and create a greener future for our communities.
Thank you for your continued generosity and support.

Hi dear donors & friends,
Last week we had the annual TreeGivingDay, where we distributed a total 2,800! Grevillia trees to different people and places in in Olidonyong'iro and for farmers from all five benefiting villages in the area: Shishtoni, Mbaaseni, Muungano and Malula.
The total number of trees from Projectburo De Laat, Carolyn Gill and others on GlobalGiving: 2,000.
• Beneficiary village: Oldonyong’iro
• Total beneficiaries: 123 farmers
• Trees distributed to farmers: 1,476
• Trees allocated to King’ori Primary School: 150
• Trees allocated to Mareu Health Centre: 150
• Trees allocated to Oldonyong’iro Churches: 150
• Trees allocated to Oldonyong’iro Mosque: 50
In addition, we received 800 trees donated by Global Agency for International Development, which were distributed to 80 beneficiaries.
All the people who have received these new trees, have been instructed how to take care of them. If you do care well, you get in 5 years time fuelwood, timber, shade for crops and improved soil around the tree. Our guest Kees van Veluw from Kenya took part in this event to see that everything is done like we tell you it goes!
If you want to participate next year 2027 by donating trees or visit, just contact or donate a tree of two!
Thanks to all who participated this year.
Best Regards,
Pendaeli Amos & Peter de Laat

New planting season is comming soon!

Hello Dear donors and Friends,
On 25th March 2025 we had our last local Tree Giving Day. We distributed 2,000! trees to farmers at Oldonyong’iro village.
They have planted the trees along their plots. This is for shade for the plants and animals, for strengthening the biodiversity and for later for some wood production.
This year we like to plant again so many trees, but we can use some more support to reach that goal! We need $1 per tree (seedling) for the tree, the transport and care of the first years, so that is not so much.
So if you are a frequent flyer and want to compensate CO2 credits, plant trees with us.
Donations made before 31 Januari, will be in Tanzania in March, so we can use them this planting season.
Best Regards,
Pendaeli Amos & Peter de Laat
