When the land heals, families thrive.
Community-level programs that restore degraded land, build food security, and create sustainable livelihoods — because environmental restoration and human flourishing go together.
The Problem
Rwanda has lost over 60% of its forest cover in the past century. Soil erosion threatens agricultural communities. Families that depend on the land are watching their livelihoods erode along with the topsoil.
Without intervention, this degradation cycle accelerates — less forest means less rain retention, which means more erosion, which means less food security.
How We Work
Seven programs that restore land and build community resilience.
Mothers of Harvest
Women-led food security initiative teaching sustainable agriculture, kitchen gardens, and nutrition — connecting food sovereignty to faith-based community development.
Community Gardens
Shared growing spaces where families learn organic farming, seed saving, and soil restoration while building community resilience and food security.
Climate-Smart Agriculture
Training farmers in techniques that increase productivity while protecting the environment — terracing, mulching, composting, and water harvesting.
Tree Nurseries
Community-managed nurseries producing 25,600 native seedlings annually for reforestation, buffer zones, and agroforestry systems on degraded land.
Ndi Umudigitale (Digital Sustainability)
Digital literacy program teaching youth and community members to use technology for environmental monitoring, data collection, and sustainable development.
Waste Management
Community-based waste collection and recycling programs that reduce pollution, protect waterways, and create income opportunities from recyclable materials.
Eco-Friendly Maintenance
Training communities in sustainable building maintenance, rainwater harvesting, and eco-friendly repair practices that reduce environmental impact.
