School Gardens to Save Eastern Chimpanzee

Dear friends, donors and supporters,

It is my honor to have a such opportunity to get in touch with you via this progressive report.

I know that you have been following our work via our social media and other source of information which makes us strong in rgerads to achieving our goal.

As mentioned in the previous progressive report, thanks to your generosity, the project has been able to raise funds that have enabled us to organise two sessonsof environmental education. This has driven our activities for the reproting period as we built on that to maintain the interaction and exchange of information between the project stakeholders including staff, students, school leaders, park and local authorities on our shared value of the conservation of our Eastern chimpanzes listed on the IUCN red list of threatened speacies. For this, we used the established school tree nurseries to nurture Nature Based Solutions to protect the GIshwati-Mukura National Park, home to the Eastern Chimpanzes and other rare species of animals and plants. We believe that very soon, the nursery will provide us with enough trees to embark on  the next phase of the project which is Reforestation. We always expect your usual support to make this happen. Once more, thank you for your continued support wihout which our success would be baseless

Dear friends, donors and supporters,

It is my honor to have a such opportunity to wish you a happy new year of 2024, a year of success, proserity and happiness. 

As you may guess, it is also the time to update you on the project progress thanks to your various supports. So farm the project has been able to raise funds that have enabled us to organise two sessonsof environmental education. The sessions focussed on youth capacity bulding to ensure they have relavant knowledge and skills on to be involved in a biodiversity conservation that benefits both humans and nature. They learnt about how school tree nurseries can help change the mindset of communities surrounding the protected areas such as Gishwati-Mukura National park. They were also trained in Nature Based Solutions and how it can contribute to the restoration  of the critical landscape.

With the two sessions, the project plans to organise further two more before we can move to the next phase of the project which is Reforestation. We always expect your usual support to make this happen.

Once more, thank you for your continued support wihout which our success would be baseless

Yours sincerely
