Plant Trees to Help Fight Food Insecurity in the Dominican Republic
Plant trees to help fight food insecurity in the Dominican Republic
Massive weather shifts and deforestation in the Dominican Republic have caused extreme droughts lasting for months and severe storms that flood farms. The land, farmers, and their communities are suffering.
Each year, the situation grows more dire as less food and clean water reach dinner tables. By supporting planting projects in critically important regions like the Nizao and Ozama River watersheds, you’re protecting farms, food, potable water, and families.
Together, we can help families grow food security
Your gift helps restore thousands of trees in the Dominican Republic's critically important Nizao and Ozama River watersheds and provides farmers with fruit trees to plant on their own land. This support increases food security and access to clean water for farming families and their communities.
