We believe that education shapes our future

Education is directly related to a self-determined future as it awakens untapped potential, strengthens individual talents, and can lift students out of poverty. It is a sustainable tool that does not only help someone for one day but rather a lifetime– we believe that learning never stops and is important at every age.

We believe in holistic climate action

Human-made climate change is a threat to all people and beings on this planet. By implementing reforestation and agroforestry projects in Mexico we aim for the recovery of the ecosystem while preserving biodiversity and supporting the communities’ livelihood.
Plant more than just trees, replenish a whole ecosystem!

Focus Areas

Education

SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURE
We facilitate the construction of new schools. Our main focus is on addressing the specific needs of the communities and including experienced local partners in the process.
RENOVATION & EXTENSION
Profound education requires an appropriate learning environment for students. That’s why we renovate old and poorly equipped school buildings or even expand them by complementing new classrooms, playgrounds, or sanitary facilities.
IMPLEMENTATION OF EDUTECH
Technology is important not only to enrich education but also to support teachers. Implementing computer labs is an integral part of improving the curriculum to keep students on the cutting edge of technology.

Environment

Cultivating trees
Healthy seedlings are the basis for effective reforestation projects. They are grown in a tree nursery that provides the perfect conditions. Diversity is key, that’s why a broad variety of fruit trees, conifers, and shrubs are cultivated.
Planting trees
Local farmers pick up the seedlings and plant them themselves, knowing exactly which trees are needed on their property and where. The terrain in the Chiapas region is often steep or difficult to access, making planting a major effort.
Complimentary activities
In addition to reforestation projects, our Mexican team supports individual complementary activities such as building ponds to collect rainwater or planting flower beds that attract pollinators to complete the holistic approach.
