In the valley of the river Zio, the soil is extremely degraded and so largely infertile for subsistence crops (taros, yams…). The villagers also lack fuelwood and lumber. Together let’s plant 40,000 fertiliser trees in 4 villages to provide the inhabitants with food and wood, and to protect the gallery forest of the river Zio.
In this small village of 600 inhabitants, the soil is extremely degraded and so largely infertile for subsistence crops (taros, yams…). The villagers also lack fuelwood and lumber.

The population around Lake Togo is made up of farmers, fishermen and -women. This area is under strong demographic pressure and facing major ecological and social changes – deterioration of plant life, serious soil erosion and increased poverty among the local population. Planting 100,000 trees in 10 villages and introducing market gardening will preserve biodiversity and improve crop yields, as well as boosting fishing by tackling soil erosion and stabilising the lakeshore.
95% of the donations received will be put into the project and the remaining 5% used to cover the running costs of A Tree For You.
This plantations of fertile trees and cocoa trees of an old variety are very resistant and prized for its organoleptic qualities. These trees provide a decent income for families, while regenerating soils and thus protecting the surrounding forest from the old practice of slash and burn.
