Kijani Nursery Hub

Farmer-First

Our hubs are centers of empowerment, education, and economic opportunity.

The Model

Nursery Hubs:
Growing More Than Trees.

We eliminate barriers for rural farmers by providing training, resources, and market access. Here's how our 4-step cycle works:

1

Mobilize & Equip

We identify farmer groups, build central nurseries, and provide all inputs (seeds, pots) at no cost.

2

Plant & Care

Farmers plant fast-growing indigenous trees on their land, intercropped to maintain food security.

3

Support & Incentivize

Weekly field visits, training, and annual cash payments for surviving trees ensure success.

4

Harvest & Market

We guarantee market access, buying sustainable charcoal produced with efficient kilns.

Restoration

Biodiverse. Indigenous.
Sustainable.

We go beyond monocultures. Our restoration focuses on creating thriving, biodiverse, and indigenous tropical forests that stabilize microclimates and restore local ecosystems.

Biodiversity

Mimicking local ecosystems to support wildlife and soil health.

500 Acre Pilot

Demonstrating the viability of large-scale indigenous restoration.
