What We Do

Greener Ethiopia strengthens the entire rural ecosystem restoring land, empowering farmers, improving health, and supporting the service providers who sustain community life. Our work is holistic, practical, and rooted in the belief that people and nature thrive together.

Over 40m Trees Planted.

Ecosystem Restoration with Multipurpose Trees

We restore degraded landscapes using diverse, multipurpose tree species that regenerate the environment and support rural livelihoods:

Our impact includes:

  • Restored land: Healing soil, watersheds, and local microclimates
  • Food & fodder: Providing fruits and animal feed for families and livestock
  • Energy & shade: Supplying fuelwood and shade that protect homes and fields
  • Better nutrition: Improving household diets through nutrient‑rich tree products
  • Income generation: Creating marketable products that boost family income

Our restoration model is ecological, economic, and community‑driven.

    Continuous Farmer Training & Capacity Building

    We invest in farmers through ongoing, hands‑on training that builds skills, confidence, and long‑term resilience.

    Our training covers:

    • Soil and water conservation: Terracing, runoff control, and moisture retention
    • Agroforestry & tree management: Integrating multipurpose trees into farms sustainably
    • Science‑based agriculture: Improved practices, inputs, and technologies
    • Climate‑smart farming: Techniques that adapt to and mitigate climate change
    • Value addition & markets: Processing, packaging, and linking to better buyers

    Training is continuous not a one‑time event so farmers grow with the land they care for.

    Serving the Service Providers

    We support the rural civil servants who hold communities together teachers, nurses, extension workers, and local administrators.

    We strengthen their ability to serve through:

    • Education and professional development to enhance skills and leadership
    • Housing support that gives stability and dignity
    • Digital learning and internet‑based knowledge to connect them with the wider world
    • Practical tools and resources that improve service delivery in their communities

    When service providers thrive, entire communities thrive.

    Strengthening Livelihoods Through Farmers’ Cooperatives

    We organize and support farmers’ cooperatives so they can grow stronger together instead of struggling alone.

    We help cooperatives:

    • Increase production and productivity through shared knowledge and resources
    • Access fair, reliable markets and negotiate better prices
    • Add value to products through processing and improved quality
    • Stabilize and raise incomes for farming families
    • Build collective power and dignity in rural economies

    Cooperatives transform farmers into strong, organized economic actors.

    Preventive Health & Environment

    We link environmental restoration with community health because healthy land and healthy people rise together.

    Our work includes:

    • Rural health education and training on hygiene, sanitation, nutrition, maternal health, and disease prevention
    • Environmental health campaigns promoting clean water and safe waste management
    • Nutrition education that connects food production to family wellbeing
    • Healthy homes initiatives that reduce indoor air pollution and improve sanitation

    Preventive health is the foundation of rural resilience.
