planting well underway!
4 April 2024Moses assures me that planting is pretty much complete. Within the next week or so I plan to transfer the remaining funds to Moses so the farmers get paid for their labour.

Contract signatures
4 March 2024Our 3 nurserymen have signed the stage 6 contract as a receipt for the balance of the money we owed them. The farmer reps and supervisors will sign for their payments when planting is complete. With the start of the long rains, this is the right time to start planting! Thanks again to all donors!

full payment to nurserymen and contract with our 51 farmers
4 March 2024A very muddy road made for a seriously challenging motorbike-taxi trip when Moses visited Rubuguri yesterday. He paid the balance owing to our three tree nurserymen, and signed a contract with the reps from the three community groups planting trees this time. It's good to see familiar faces here from our 2018 visit!

recipients of stage 6 plantings
19 February 2024Moses informs me that the Rubuguri people have agreed on three community groups totally 51 farmers who will benefit from stage 6 donations. They are willing to plant 100% native species and our nurserymen apparently can supply the required number of seedlings. I'll post the names of these three groups shortly.

farmers benefitting from our donations
19 January 2024I've just been WhatsApping with Moses. We decided some weeks back that it would be good to include new community groups beyond the 197 farmers who have already benefitted. He'll get back to me when the Rubuguri people have made their choices. Thanks again to all donors!!

100% indigenous species
4 January 2024Our nurserymen say they can source enough native seedlings for stage 6 to be 100% indigenous trees. Here's the recent meeting with them, Mr Felix (forester) and local council staff.

This is a big achievement Graham
Great job to Moses you and friends.
They should start planting the seedlings before the dry season that will come soon

preliminary meeting
30 December 2023Moses is meeting today with the Rubuguri people to (a) pay our three local nurserymen an advance so they can start raising seedlings, and (b) agree on which community groups will benefit this time round. So far we've supported 197 subsistence farmers belonging to 6 groups; it might now be time to support others.

Great progress.
22 December 2023Thanks to all donors, we have made an excellent start to this stage of planting. I'll be emailing Moses shortly to ask him to alert our nurserymen, so they can start propagating. So far we should be able to plant something over 7,000 seedlings!
