#LesPépinièresSociales du Mayombe (PART 3, Action !! ) : A new local generation standing up to restore biodiversity in Congo's green lung.
Happy with the extension of the partnership between Social Ecology Education Fund , the Congolese ONG OSB, and the King Baudouin Foundation.
Faced with the big ecological challenges in their region, 100 underprivileged adolescents get an intensive training in agro-forestry and be equipped as beekeepers and fruit growers Between 2021 and 2026, they are self-managing a programme for planting and maintaining 25.000 fruit trees a year .
A multiple win: Social impact (employment of >100 vulnerable teenagers in the culture, planting and care, followed by harvesting and fruit processing) Environmental impact (reforestation and responsible fruit growing) Societal impact (social and environmental awareness-raising among all layers of local population: families and private and public landowners putting their land at disposal)
