Masai Mara Community Tree Project

Charlie is an 8yr with a passion for helping the environment and especially the animals.  She understands that in order to help the animals she needs to provide a healthy ecosystem and a well-educated community.  She has taken part in numerous clean-ups from beaches to canoeing along creeks in her home town and continues to do so.

Land clearing for practices such as agriculture and the unsustainable production of charcoal impacts the environment significantly.  Threats to the environment can include destruction of entire ecosystem causing environmental threats, such as increased greenhouse gas emissions, a rise in soil salinity, the destruction of natural habitats for animals, the decrease and even extinction of indigenous flora and fauna, as well as erosion of fertile soils.  This is her personal motivation in the fight against climate change and to help the planet.  She has donated the contents of her savings jar and needs your help.

She has teamed up with Dr Charles from the Chake Community Development Program in Kenya with the aim of planting 60,000 seedlings. These seedlings will cover a variety of roles.   The indigenous seedlings will start reforestation, provide wind breaks, habitat for the wildlife, filter the water we drink and clean the air we breathe, prevent erosion of the soil. Furthermore Moringa, Avocado and citrus seedlings will provide a food source and income for the community as well as a deterrent to elephants coming into crops as they don’t like the smell of citrus. 

The Chake Community Development Program has a number of other projects from beehive and lighting installation to reduce human animal conflict, educating orphaned or disabled children, housing and employment of widows, the elderly and many other projects.
