MAASAI COMMUNITY CARBON TREES AFRICA

We are so thrilled to report that our tree nursery with the MASSAI in eastern Kenya is growing so strong and diverse. We are pleased that the kids are still collecting important tree seeds for animal food especially for giraffes and elephants. 

This tree nursery is most important becauxse it stretches the money we send to our MASSAI collaborators to pay for planting. We are actually achieving much better results for the money spent by producing the trees instead of buying them. Plus, our species selction is so much more diverse which makes us all happy.

Finally, our MAssai friends continue to maintain and care for all the trees we have already planted and we are thrilled they are beginning to enjoy more shade, more rain and more fruits and fertile soil. All the benedfits are being felt by our community in Enkutoto Nahalala which we believe is the reason why everyonhe is activating so wonderfully to pridce more baby trees. 

Thank you for your support. AND PLEASE, DONT FORGET TO SHARE ourt work with any friends and family who also may have a sweet spiot in their heart for AFRICA and the sad state of the drought and loss of wildlife there. We trulya re making a difference and with more funding, we can do so much more. 

Our work in Kenya continues with so much recent growth. We are thrilled to report that the new tree nursery in the village of Enkutoto Nahalala is filling up fast with all kinds of species of baby trees. It feels amazing that the investment we made with this community over 5 years ago is finally proving effective and productive. We believe it is no accident that the trees we have been planting are growing well because of our managed follow up from afar. And the growing trees have created abundant shade, food, water in just 5 short years. The grazing animals are getting fatter, the farmers are earning more money for their livestock, rain is falling more, temperatures are lower, the land is cooling off, more food is growing including fruit slike mabngos and avocadoes, and hope is soaring.

Time is always the test in this work and truly as the trees grow, so does the community commitment. Why? Because the growing trees are lifting the living conditions and the people simply feel it. So they want to engage in more tree planting and follow up care for them because they have enjoyed a personal  experience of success. The youth we trained to collect seeds are activated and this just brinbgs more excitment and commitment to the community. 

As we continue to look for funding for this project, we want to impress upon you how grateful we are as you stick with us and give us tiome to grow the humans and the trees for a more positive and bright future for KENYA. Our model is working well and we are more committed than ever. We cannot wait to return and go even bigger with more communities.

We love trees!!
