Forests play a key role in sustainable development. Our reforestation and tree-planting efforts help to combat climate change, recharge watersheds, improve biodiversity, and restore wildlife habitats.
Feeding the global population is a growing challenge. We advance food security by supporting smallholder farmers with the resources and information they need to increase crop productivity and conserve resources.
Millions of people around the world lack access to safe water. We help to improve water availability for rural families through our water-harvesting and drip-irrigation projects.
Nonprofit working at the intersection of forests, food, and water on grassroots projects that drive sustainable development in rural communities.
A world where people can meet their needs and fulfill their dreams while preserving the natural resources of the planet.
Founded in 2010 by a mother and her two daughters determined to make a positive difference in the world.
