          Improved access to resources

          Carbon projects improve access to clean water and air—vital for public health and local economies. Our initiatives reduce indoor air pollution and build infrastructure like boreholes, enhancing community wellbeing.

          Increased employment opportunities

          Additional sources of income

          Carbon projects offer farmers and landowners extra income, dedicate funds for children's education, and foster community development. They create greener solutions while uplifting communities. 

          Creating a more sustainable future

          Empowering communities

          Carbon projects have the potential to play a vital role in the development of local communities and the improvement of livelihoods.

          By improving access to essential resources, creating employment opportunities, and providing additional sources of income, our projects can help empower communities and contribute to a more sustainable future.

          It is therefore essential to support and invest in carbon projects like nature-based initiatives that prioritise the wellbeing of local communities along with biodiversity conservation. By doing so, we can help to create a brighter future for all.

          Insights from our projects

          We are proud to prove, together with the project landowner, that quality, verified carbon farming from native forest conservation can provide a good economic alternative to deforestation. To avoid further deforestation in Kenya, we need solutions that can be implemented immediately, can be scaled, and are bankable.
