Rural Poor Families
Tree planting will provide new income sources. The produce from 10 grafted fruit trees can fund a child's education from kindergarten to college. Increased prosperity will reduce vulnerability to human trafficking and slavery, especially among young girls.
Children
Extra household income from tree produce can support children's education. They will learn sustainable practices, plant and care for trees, and express environmental concerns through creative arts like music, dance, and painting.
Schools
Schools will plant trees on their grounds, promote environmental education, and form tree-planting clubs. These clubs will create presentations and participate in competitions, enhancing environmental awareness.
Youth – Jobs/Skills Training
OTOF will train and employ young people ("Tree Champions") in all 112 districts as agroforestry workers, trainers, nursery operators, shop operators, and creative directors.
Self-Help Tree Planting Groups
These groups will receive training in agroforestry from OTOF and lead tree-planting initiatives in their communities. Members will model planting, care, and harvesting.
Women’s Groups
Women’s groups will be key leaders in the tree-planting initiative, ensuring talk turns into action.
Communities
Communities will unite around tree planting, benefiting from trees at public institutions, places of worship, and roadsides. Community nurseries will meet local needs.
Districts
Districts with intensive tree planting will boost agricultural revenue, improve services, and provide better access to nutritious food and training.
