East Africa is the birthplace of humanity. It can be again. Soil restoration with regenerative grazing is how. It empowers pastoral people, reverses desertification, provides healthy food, and helps mitigate global warming - all at precisely the time humanity needs it most.

Soil4Climate stands proudly with its brothers and sisters in Africa, who are on the front lines of building a regenerative future through regenerative grazing and agroforestry efforts. The heroes and their respective organizations we are honored to partner with include: 

• Dalmas Tiampati of the Maasai Center for Regenerative Pastoralism in Kajiado district of Kenya. Soil4Climate is happy to support Dalmas with the Maasai Lands Restoration Project. The Maasai Center for Regenerative Pastoralism works with Maasai villages to implement resilient grazing and farming practices to improve soil and empower people. Soil4Climate support has enabled training in Holistic Planned Grazing from the Mara Training Center in Western Kenya, construction of a modern corral and catchment dam, animal purchases, including cows and goats, and hay relief for the recent and historic drought.

• Geoffrey Ouma of the Mabinju Power House Youth Group in Asembo Bay (of Siaya County) in Western Kenya. Mabinju Power House provides agroforestry and silvopasture training and support for up to 50 homes of mostly Luo people. Soil4Climate support has helped purchase dairy cow and agroforestry supplies. The dairy cow is now producing 4 liters of milk per day.  Supplies have included planting bags and watering cans.

• N’ding’a Ndikon of the Enkop Naboo Organization in Arusha, Tanzania. Enkop Naboo Organization works with Maasai villages in North Central Tanzania.  Soil4Climate support has enabled food relief for grazers in the Emboreet village whose animals were dying during the recent drought in East Africa.

• Pike Ng'oma of We Clean We Green-Malawi and Blessings Mlowoka of Hope Ministries International in the Lilongwe region of Malawi are both part of Soil4Climate's agroforestry efforts in East Africa. Hope Ministries works with small-scale farmers to boost their livelihoods through improved grazing and agroforestry practices. Their efforts benefit approximately 3000 individuals in 250 homes. Support from Soil4Climate enabled the distribution of agroforestry seedlings and related materials, such as shovels and watering cans.
