Challenge

Nigeria faces a food security and climate crisis. In 2024, floods destroyed 855,000+ metric tonnes of crops-enough to feed 8.5M people (FAO). With 96% of forests lost (NCF), erosion is worsening, swallowing farmlands and homes. Without urgent action, millions risk hunger and displacement. RUWAI's Annual Community Tree Planting is key to restoring land, protecting the environment, and securing rural livelihoods.

Solution

RUWAI's Annual Community Tree Planting offers a proven, sustainable solution to Nigeria's food and climate crisis. Promoting agroforestry strengthens flood-prone farmlands, curbs erosion, restores forests, and boosts food security. This climate-smart agriculture initiative empowers 2,000+ rural residents per community, creating income and resilience.

Long-Term Impact

RUWAI's Annual Community Tree Planting will deliver a long-term impact by restoring degraded land, enhancing climate resilience, and ensuring sustainable food systems. Through agroforestry, it combats deforestation, reduces carbon emissions, and secures livelihoods. Thousands gain income while future generations benefit from improved soil health, reforestation, and food security. Invest in lasting change through this high-impact environmental and community development solution.
