→ So far, we’ve planted and cared for nearly 16,000 trees in Kenya and 120,000 trees in Colombia! - €20: Provide comprehensive training in permaculture and kitchen gardening for one household
→ This promotes biodiversity through diverse seeds and plants, and increases food security for vulnerable communities. - €70: Supply a 100W solar panel to a household
→ Installed by students from our Mwanga Mpya project, which empowers marginalized youth with skills in renewable energy and a household with solar light for a brighter future. - €280: Build a new home for a family affected by flooding→ Each year, flooding increases due to climate change. In Kisumu, many families are unable to protect their homes.
