Story

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #a52a2a;">In Africa</span> <span style="color: #006400;">trees</span> <span style="color: #a52a2a;">have the power to transform lives, providing</span> <span style="color: #a52a2a;">people with food, medicines, fuel, homes and many other essentials</span>. So Help us plant more <span style="color: #006400;">trees</span>. With your support, villagers can transform their lives and enviroment by growing, protecting and managing their <span style="color: #006400;">trees</span> sustainably (selling their seeds, fruits,leaves and nuts.) Earing money from things that can grow on <span style="color: #006400;">trees</span> means villagers look after them and plant more of them. More <span style="color: #006400;">trees</span> mean more productive land&nbsp; and so more food.. More <span style="color: #006400;">trees</span> mean a more secure environment better able to adapt to climate change.&nbsp; You can help more rural African families become self reliant and improve their environment.</p> <p><span style="color: #ffa500;"><strong><em>Here&nbsp;are few samples how Your donation can&nbsp;help :</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #a52a2a;">-&pound;15</span> <span style="color: #a52a2a;">provides</span>&nbsp;a kilo of top quality seeds&nbsp; enough to sow around 300 mango or 2,000 baobab trees.</p> <p><span style="color: #a52a2a;">-&pound;35</span>&nbsp;: <strong>10 grafted mango trees which</strong>&nbsp;can provide nourishment in lean times and a year-round source of income.</p> <p><span style="color: #a52a2a;">- &pound;35</span> <span style="color: #a52a2a;">Can also provide</span> training so villagers can learn how to germinate seeds, manage nurseries, care for and protect trees and employ practices that benefit crops and improve the soil so they can grow more food.</p> <p>-<span style="color: #a52a2a;">&pound;170 Can provide</span> a nursery starter kit including a kilo of seeds, 1,000 growing bags, 25m of fencing, spades, rakes and watering cans.
