project overview
Eastern Africa's REDD+ and Biochar Project
Reducing deforestation and land degradation while promoting sustainable livelihoods through community-driven forest conservation and innovative biochar applications
This initiative spans several communities across Eastern Africa, combining forest conservation with soil restoration technology. Our integrated approach safeguards biodiversity, enhances carbon storage, and provides alternative sources of income for local communities, creating a sustainable model for climate resilience.

Approach & Technology
REDD+ Strategy
We work with local communities to reduce pressures on forests through community forest management, sustainable agriculture practices, and alternative energy sources. This approach directly tackles the root causes of deforestation while empowering communities.
Biochar Applications
Agricultural residues are converted into biochar and applied to soils to improve fertility, retain water, and lock carbon in a stable form. This innovative technology transforms waste into a valuable resource for both farmers and the climate.
benefits
Community & Environmental Impact
Biodiversity Conservation
Forest conservation safeguards biodiversity and prevents habitat loss for endangered species
Enhanced Food Security
Biochar applications improve crop yields and soil health, boosting food security for local farmers
Cleaner Air
Reduced reliance on traditional fuelwood decreases harmful household air pollution
Job Creation
New opportunities in sustainable forestry, biochar production, and environmental monitoring
Ready to Scale Impact?
This project is designed for long-term implementation with expansion planned into new villages and farming systems. We’re seeking developers and investors to collaborate and scale this proven REDD+ and biochar model across the region.
