April 22 is Earth Day.  The 13th Sustainable Development Goal is to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.  In Sierra Leone, the serious and accelerating rate of deforestation is not only threatening biodiversity and ecosystem balance in the country but is also contributing to global climate change. In Freetown, the run-off water from the surrounding hills results in flooding and loss of property each year.

By restoring vegetation and the forest, we are helping to combat global warming and helping to reduce runoff water from the hills. The trees will help to reduce landslides and rock slides that have resulted in the loss of life. Reforestation is essential for the overall health and quality of life in the community. 



We are helping to address deforestation by planting trees, in the hills above Freetown, and also in the peninsular area.



Your support is helping purchase seedlings, cover the cost of staffing and other tree-planting expenses. As more trees are planted, the risk of life and property due to flooding decreases.

While reforestation in Sierra Leone will continue to be a long-term endeavor due to the extent of the deforestation, it is necessary.  

Your on-going support is much appreciated as we continue to follow the steps recommended by the local Environmental Protection Agency.   We encourage you to consider starting a monthly recurring donation here.  Even a few dollars a month will go a long way.  Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.
