Environmental Regeneration of Rural KenyaEnvironmental Regeneration of Rural Kenya

The area around Kisumu is turning into desert due to loss of trees and plummeting soil fertility. The people of the area must survive on less than one dollar per day. Children often go to school hungry. We’re helping the land to become more productive by starting a large scale tree nursery and organic compost distribution center which is employing young people under the age of 25.
