Field Work
Our Projects
Practical community-based initiatives that put environmental action into practice — from tree nurseries and compost training to youth clubs and agroforestry support.
How We Work
Turning Ideas into Action
Our projects are hands-on activities carried out with communities, schools, and farmers across Rwanda. They range from establishing tree nurseries to training in organic farming methods. Each project is designed to be locally led, environmentally sound, and socially inclusive.
Every project we run builds on the knowledge and participation of community members — because lasting environmental change only happens when people are at the center of it.

Project Highlights
A Closer Look
Agroforestry
Community Tree Nursery Project
In partnership with local farmers and groups, we support the establishment of small-scale tree nurseries. These nurseries produce seedlings for reforestation, agroforestry, and fruit production, creating local jobs and improving food security across Nyanza Sector.
- Native tree species and fruit trees grown
- Training in nursery management provided
- Seedlings distributed to community members
Training
Compost Making Training
Through hands-on workshops, farmers learn to produce compost from agricultural waste, animal manure, and household scraps. This reduces dependence on chemical fertilizers and improves soil fertility for long-term sustainable farming.
- Practical demonstrations and follow-up support
- Low-cost, locally available materials used
- Women and youth actively participate
Training
Natural Pesticides Production
Participants learn to prepare botanical pesticides using plants like neem, garlic, and chili. These natural alternatives are safer for farmers, consumers, and the environment — and significantly cheaper than commercial chemical inputs.
- Identification of local pesticidal plants
- Step-by-step preparation techniques
- Safe application methods demonstrated
Education
Environmental Youth Clubs
Our youth clubs engage students in hands-on environmental activities at their schools and in their communities. From tree planting to waste management projects, young people learn that they are the custodians of our planet's future.
- School tree planting and maintenance
- Waste collection and recycling awareness
- Student-led environmental discussions
