Plant 50,000 Trees In Northern Rwanda

Dear Donors,

Thank you for your continued support of our reforestation work. As we progress toward our goal of raising 50,000 tree saplings, we are excited to share an important update from the field.

1. Why We Are Expanding the Nursery

Our initial nursery structure has become too small to handle the large number of saplings required for this project. To ensure that each seedling grows strong and healthy, we began constructing a larger, more efficient nursery that will accommodate the full scale of our work.

2. Current Construction Activities

This week, our team started building the new structure, which will serve as the primary site for raising saplings.
The photo shows our field staff installing the roof supports and shade netting.

The expanded nursery offers:

• Increased capacity to grow 50,000 saplings

• Better shade protection from harsh sunlight

• Improved ventilation and drainage for healthy growth

• Stronger wooden framing to withstand seasonal weather

3. Progress So Far

• Wooden structural posts and beams have been completed

• Shade net installation is in progress

• The ground has been cleared and prepared

• The space is now ready to receive planting bags

4. Next Steps

• Finish roofing and shade netting

• Arrange planting bags in the new nursery

• Begin sowing seeds

• Install watering lines and protective fencing

5. Why This Matters

This improved nursery is essential for the success of the 50,000 Trees Project. With the new structure:

• Saplings will grow in a safer, controlled environment

• Seedling loss will be greatly reduced

• We will produce stronger, healthier trees for planting across the community

6. Appreciation

Your generosity is what makes this work possible. With every contribution, you are helping restore degraded land, support local communities, and build a greener future for Rwanda.

Thank you for standing with us.

Dear Patron,

We are pleased to share an update on the ongoing activities for our 50,000 Trees Reforestation Project.

As shown in the attached photo, our team is actively nurturing young saplings in the nursery. This week’s main activity has focused on watering and maintaining saplings that have already been placed into planting bags. After carefully preparing the soil mixture ;combining fertile topsoil with organic manure; we filled each planting bag and transferred the young seedlings into them.

The team is now ensuring that every sapling receives the right amount of water and shade so they can develop strong roots before being transplanted to the main field. This careful nursery work is essential for improving survival rates once the trees are planted.

Your support continues to make this work possible. Every contribution helps us move closer to our target of planting 50,000 trees and restoring our environment.

Thank you for standing with us in this mission of reforestation and community resilience.

Warm regards,

Jean Damascene Uwizeyimana
