Help Restore the Soils of East Africa!
Bring Cropping and Grazing Support Where it's Needed Most!
East Africa is the Horn of the Regenerative Agriculture Revolution:
Soil restoration in the birthplace of humanity:
Your donations help restore a very important part of the world.
$300 buys a dairy cow. $5 buys a bale of hay.
$100 leases 100 acres for one month.
"Africa contains ... some of the world’s most diverse and biologically important ecosystems [that] provide the economic foundation that many Africa countries rely on by providing water, food, and shelter. However, because of climate change, these ecosystems and the livelihoods that depend on them are threatened."

Geoffrey Ouma of the Mabinju Power House Youth Group in Western Kenya - Mabinju Power House provides agroforestry and silvopasture training and support. Soil4Climate donations have also enabled the purchase of gardening supplies, seedlings, and a dairy cow.
N’ding’a Ndikon of the Enkop Naboo Organization - Soil4Climate support has enabled food relief for grazers in the Emboreet village whose animals were dying during the recent drought in East Africa. Training in Holistic Management will follow.

Hope Ministries works with small-scale farmers to boost their livelihoods through improved grazing and agroforestry practices.
