This program started in 2005. At the beginning, interventions were limited to the production and planting of forest and agro-forestry seedlings for reforestation and watershed management.

Since 2018, the projects of this programme have expanded to include climate resilience and reduction of the negative effects of climate change. Our interventions have focused in the provinces of Rutana, Cankuzo, Makamba. Bururi, Karuzi, Ngozi and Kayanza.
