Greening Sahara
Plant a tree, stop the desert.
We partner with local communities in Senegal to plant trees across the Sahel — one 5m×5m cell at a time. As more cells are sponsored, more desert turns green. Together, we lead the fight against desertification.
Where
Sahel region, West Africa — one of the most vulnerable areas to desertification on the planet.
How
We divide the land into 5m×5m cells. Each sponsor plants one tree in one cell and tracks its growth.
Who
Local communities in Senegal plant and care for the trees. Sponsors anywhere in the world fund them.
Green Cell
