Kawambwa Tree Planting Project
Kawambwa Tree Planting Project
A fruit tree planting project that will be training students and selected facilities in best practice of tree planting and maintenance. The organization intends to plant approximately 333 fruit trees (e.g. orange or lemon) at 3 schools (a total of approximately 1,000 trees on 4 hectares of land). The fruits will be utilized in two ways. First, the fruits can be consumed at schools, which will improve the nutritional status of the students. This in the context of the high prevalence of malnutrition in general and stunting specifically (43.4% compared to the national average of 35%) in Kawambwa District. Secondly, fruits can be sold at the market which will generate revenue for the schools. The project will work with existing student Environmental Clubs (or create such clubs if they do not exist) to train the students in fruit tree management and environmental issues. Each school will have a tree nursery, where students will learn to graft trees.
