Programs
We engage in a variety of initiatives aimed at promoting reforestation and biodiversity conservation. Through community-driven tree planting and environmental education projects, we work to restore degraded landscapes and educate communities on the importance of environmental stewardship.
We are collaborating with various schools and community self-help groups to increase the presence of native tree species, and plant fruit trees on their grounds and farms. Additionally, we assist them in establishing their own tree nurseries using locally available seeds and materials. We are also inviting community stakeholders to participate in intergenerational dialogues centered on biodiversity. These discussions aim to deepen understanding and commitment to sustainable practices across generations, while also promoting the sharing, appreciation, and preservation of indigenous knowledge.
Our collective efforts have resulted in the successful planting of 6,120 trees, contributing to our environmental conservation goals.
We promote the adoption of innovative farming techniques that increase crop resilience, improve soil health, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By providing training and education to smallholder farmers with a special emphasis on women and youth, we empower them with the knowledge and tools needed to implement sustainable agricultural methods that can withstand climate impacts.
Our initiatives include promoting drought-resistant crops, beekeeping, and agroforestry practices that integrate trees and crops to improve land productivity. We also advocate for organic farming methods and the use of organic manure to enrich the soil and sustain healthy ecosystems. Through these efforts, we enhance smallholder farmers’ livelihoods and contribute to a more resilient agricultural sector that supports both people and the plan
We nurture young leaders and entrepreneurs by equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to create eco-innovative ventures and become environmental champions. Our focus is on building capacity among both in-school and out-of-school youth, enabling them to become dedicated eco-peace advocates and role models who promote eco-friendly practices. These young leaders actively raise awareness and foster cleaner, greener, and more peaceful schools and communities.
Through our Eco-Peace Leadership Program, we have successfully impacted 1,100 young individuals.
We also offer guidance and support to small businesses and smallholder farmers, helping them cultivate ventures that not only thrive economically but also contribute positively to the environment. By fostering a culture of eco-innovation and leadership, we empower the next generation of sustainable leaders and businesses, ensuring they succeed economically while promoting environmental sustainability.
