Plant to stop poverty, Tanzania
Reforestation: the process of planting trees in areas where forests have been cut down or destroyed.
Permanence: 40+ years
Project: The Plant to Stop Poverty project uses an incorporated approach to advise and help peasantry communities in rural areas to practice agroforestry to fight against prevailing poverty and climate change effects. This method of food and income guarantees security while forests are restored and protected through tree planting. The project managers have previous experience planting more than 1,230,000 trees in other projects in different districts.
The project is also expected to improve and protect important water sources and water sheds for irrigation in clustering villages of Mashewa, Kwamkole, Mazingara, Vibaoni, Kwabaya, communities along Pangani river and Bungu hence improving living standards of the community.
