The project provides access to safe drinking water to hundreds of households in the district of Kaliro (Uganda).
Today, households burn wood to purify their water. Many existing wells are owned by community groups and have fallen into disrepair due to poorly managed or too costly maintenance programs.
This project makes it possible to:

• work with these community groups to identify abandoned wells to rehabilitate them and provide clean, safe water.
• reduce the use of wood, and thus reduce the CO2 emitted during the combustion and also to avoid deforestation.

The project and its CO2 reductions are registered and independently verified under the Internationally recognised Gold Standard label: (http://www.goldstandard.org).

Poor agricultural practices, poverty and a loss of precious forests and ecosystems are threatening Zambia. To make ends meet, farmers often have to rely on illegal (poaching) practices. This Project supports farmers with agricultural methods that safeguard the forest and enhance their livelihood. Previous poachers are given the opportunity to learn skills that protect the forest and wildlife, while having a stable income.

This Zambia AgroForestry Project promotes sustainable agriculture and forest conservation at a landscape level, through sustainable land management and REDD+ method (Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation). The program REDD + safeguards the forests, ensures carbon sequestration and protects the entire ecosystem.

This Project tackles the problem at its root. Instead of criminalising the poacher, it focuses on a long-term solution; teaching vulnerable people to farm sustainably and protect nature.
