Knowledge to Plant Trees in Rural Malawi

Our most unusual reforestation project, run by Farm Radio Trust, uses radio shows to help people plant and protect trees. The radio programmes inform farmers about tree-planting practices, the benefits of trees, and sustainable farming.

In partnership with Wells for Zoë, meanwhile, we support native tree restoration as well as knowledge and support to better the lives of the poorest in Malawi with a focus on empowering women.
