Plant a Tree

The central region of Madagascar faces various challenges, including crop destruction, land erosion, and the silting of rice fields due to intense rainfall during the rainy seasons. Our solutions involve planting native and fruit-bearing trees. In 2023, we planted 250 trees, including mango, orange, loquat, lemon, avocado, and peach trees. We invite you to support this initiative and assist us in planting 2,500 fruit-bearing trees.

Challenge

The soil in the highlands is especially delicate. Groundwater weakens clay soils, causing them to collapse during intense rainfalls in the rainy season. In hilly or mountainous areas, torrential rain, flash floods, and hazardous landslides pose a significant threat to Madagascar. On hilltops, it's common to see traditional houses or protective pits from old villages transformed into large erosion sites, locally referred to as lavaka.

Solution

In our initial initiatives, we planted hundreds of native trees throughout the Tsaranaro valley. Our goal is to establish more orchards in regions facing food scarcity, delivering food to those in greatest need. Besides offering a beautiful display, the blossoms of fruit trees serve as a vital nectar source for pollinators, attracting them in large numbers. Fruit trees offer fresh, free, local produce. Community orchards are planted for the benefit of all.
