Eden Reforestation Projects | ODW
 | |
Organization Profile: | Eden Reforestation Projects (ERP) is a non-profit organization that recreates healthy forest systems that restore hope, alleviate suffering, empower people, and build local economies in impoverished communities. ERP employs local workers at wages that are consistent with their economy. These workers are almost always from the ranks of the unemployed. In this way, they are also helping to break the cycle of poverty. |
ODW Partnership: | Ethiopia Project funded at: $15,120
This partner project will help rejuvenate the land in Ethiopia that has been rendered virtually barren, through years of total deforestation. The reforestation process will help provide jobs for local residents; providing economic security for their families for years to come. This partnership will help plant 200,000 trees in the 2011-2012 planting season, and provide a total of 2000 days of employment to eco-workers serving with ERP. The revenue earned by the local residents will help provide an avenue out of poverty, allowing them to obtain a level of security for their families. Many of the people who have gone through ERP’s program can now send their children to school, and have started their own micro-enterprises. Most of the people can now afford to have their family visit a doctor when they get sick, and are able to purchase a balanced diet. Madagascar Project Funded: ODW and Eden are partnering to fund a project of $10,000 USD in Madagascar. This will provide 1,000 days of employment (over half of Eden's workers are single moms) and plant 100,000 trees in Madagascar! Please keep the Power of $10 in your mind as you consider joining us in transforming entire families, villages and ecosystems in Madagascar. |
