Restoring the Daka river
Hundreds of villages in northern Ghana depend on the Daka river for drinking, washing, cooking, and farming. But due to deforestation, the river dries out for months on end. Helping trees grow along its banks will restore the water level and prevent erosion. The trees also provide another benefit: fruit and nuts!
