These trees are small now, but will grow into huge giants, thanks to the Kisiki Hai method! Together with Lead Foundation we are training ‘as we speak’ 1,300 farmers this re-greening technique.

We even train them to become trainers so that they can educate their fellow villagers. In this way we can apply the Kisiki Hai method on a large scale and have a huge impact!

The three grass seedbanks in Kuku (Kenya) are doing great in the dry season! Or… should we say.. the three Maasai women groups are doing great!

These women manage the grass seedbanks and just harvested 100 kg of seeds in Moilo, 90 kg in Enkii and in Inkisanjani even 470 kg. Wow! And the harvesting is still in progress, so these numbers are rising! They will earn a substantial income by selling these grass seeds. We are impressed (again) by these women!

We are upscaling our programs in Tanzania, aiming to re-green an area the size of 20.000 km² by the year 2021!

After a period of testing and developing our new training and movement program in 1 of the 7 districts of Dodoma, Kongwa, we are extremely excited to announce that, together with our local partner the LEAD Foundation, we are upscaling our re-greening program to all the other districts in Dodoma.

Our programs in Tanzania and Kenya are in full development. In cooperation with our local implementation partners, we are currently scaling up to 7 sub-areas in Tanzania and in Kenya the expansion will start in 2019. We temporarily put Morocco and the West-African countries on hold.

We made the choice to focus on the expansion of our program in Kenya and Tanzania in the coming period. Of course always with a vision of expansion to all other African countries where re-greening is necessary. That is why we have also entered into a partnership with the AFR100, which aims to restore 100 million hectares of landscape by 2030.
