Empower children to plant gardens and trees

Our local partners are using dry season to prepare for planting trees later this year. We are also working on connecting our tree planting efforts with our other programs including our women's farming project. Our goals and next steps include:

• constructing a structure for growing native tree seedlings
• training tree planters and women farmers in half-moon irrigation to conserve water
• building rain water catchment systems
• hiring two local youth to assist with the initial project
• purchasing a motorcycle so the coordinator can reach more rural villages

Long-term our project will integrate tree planting, youth environmental education, and women's farming to engage in large-scale reforestation efforts while also supporting local employment. 

Later this month several Engage Globally board members will be traveling to Ghana to meet with our partners to discuss the expansion of our environmental efforts. If you would like to learn more, please email engage@engageglobally.org to join our email list.

Thank you!
