Transform Livelihoods,
Communities,
& the Environment
Mission
​Rather than being a tree-focused reforestation organization, we approach environmental restoration with a community focus.
​
-
The ecology of devastated lands is restored.
-
Livelihoods are transformed by alleviating poverty: we hire marginalized people to restore their lands, and we stimulate community-based businesses.
-
Lives are improved: we treat people with dignity, care about their wellbeing, and seek life transformation.
How the Mission is Achieved
1. Develop Natural Restoration Projects
2. Employ Communities to Restore Their Environment
3. Build Sustainable, Community-led Businesses
