Success Stories
"Our community has seen the hillsides turn green again after years of erosion. The trees we planted are growing well, and we're already seeing less soil erosion during the rainy season."
— Bekele, Community Leader from Oromia
"The fuel-efficient stove has changed my daily life. I use much less firewood now, which means I spend less time collecting wood and more time on my small business. It also produces less smoke, so my children's health has improved."
— Meseret, Mother from SNNPR
