EarthLungs Reforestation Foundation is a community of forest-focused Not for Profit Organization that leverages on comminutes living around and adjacent to public gazetted forests under the management of KFS (Kenya Forest Service).
We partner with Community Forest Associations (CFAs) desirous to rehabilitate, reforest, conserve, and restore degraded forest land to healthy indigenous forest ecosystems.

Trees are the lungs of the earth. Without trees on earth, human beings would not survive but without human beings, trees would still survive on earth abundantly. Trees absorb almost all the carbon dioxide emitted by man and man's activities including but not limited to manufacturing, agriculture and transportation. Global warming is directly attributed to the loss of forest cover and increased emissions. Protecting the lungs of the earth (trees) is the only sure way of reversing global warming and defending the world's biodiversity.

There is no pride in being poor yet communities in Africa protecting today's world's most precious and prestigious resource - indigenous forests remain the poorest cadre of people. On the flip side, people living around forests in the developed world are the richest. For as long as forest adjacent communities remain poor, the world will continue to lose its forests. Critical water sources, clean oxygen,flora and fauna and fragile ecosystems are wholly dependent on how effective forest adjacent communities will be involved in indigenous forest regeneration and observing forest cutlines. Providing Decent Wages for Decent Lives will guarantee healthy indigenous forests. No amount of legal framework, use of force and threats can stop an hungry and angry community from destroying a forest. The answer is in Decent Wages for Decent Lives! The answer is in forest adjacent communities having 💯 percent buy-in in reforestation activities, the answer is in forest adjacent communities benefiting from Non Timber Forest Products, the answer is in partners supporting scaling up of sustainable reforestation programs.

The Ministry of Environment and Forestry in Kenya through Kenya Forest Service has created an enabling environment for partners to participate in reforestation activities. The PPP has seen increased demand for public gazetted forest land adoption. EarthLungs Reforestation Projects Kenya gives partners a chance to be part of conservation of indigenous forests in the country. Check with us how you can be part of the global family that is restoring magical Kenya's landscape and afford forest adjacent communities Decent Wages for Decent Lives.

Bamboo is the world's fastest growing woody plant. Sequestering 35% more carbon dioxide than soild wood coupled with fibrous roots that protect soil from erosion, bamboo is now being promoted world over as the go to plant that can quickly mitigate against effects of climate change and heal the earth. With more than 1,500 different species, more than 10,000 known uses and the ability to produce more than 40,000 different products, bamboo is indeed a wonder and miraculous plant. Kenya's Western region has excellent climate conditions for the growing of bamboo and can easily be the home of bamboo in Africa. Our dream is to plant 40 million bamboo seedlings in 5 years in Kenya's sugar belt region. The bamboo will be planted on farmers' private land where each farmer is encouraged to plant a few seedlings interconnected at the common boundary. The vision is to have a region that will sequester carbon for the market , mitigate and control the flooding problem in and around Lake Victoria basin, protect river banks, control upstream soil erosion, control siltation in Lake Victoria and de-polute rivers that drain into the lake. We also envisage a robust bamboo products industry that will create thousands of employment opportunities for women and youth who stay and live in the 11 counties that form the Lake Region Economic Block in Kenya. Join us in the journey of planting, growing, sustainably harvesting, post harvest treatment, storing and adding value to bamboo by donating to or adopting our Mianzi ni Mali Program (MiMAP).
