The project focuses on delivering trees to farmers and providing training on topics such as tree care, pest management, and sustainable pruning techniques. In addition, community benefit activities have been designed to foster long-term community involvement in the project.
These include:
Income diversification: beekeeping, processing non-timber products
Female empowerment: bookkeeping training, family gardens and community composting
Water access: building water catchment and irrigation units
