what we do

 

Youth Upliftment

We mentor, train and engage young people, womem rural and urban youth in vulnerable and marginalised communities - through hands-on experiences in agroforestry, composting, tree growing and climate resilient livelihoods. This includes formation, workshops, and internships.

 

Landscapes Restoration

Through tree panting, soil rehabilitation and agroforestry, our land restoration efforts seeks to promote dryland ecosystem balance. We work with young people, women, schools, urban/rural farmers and religious institutions to co-create biodiverse, food-secure and climate-resilient landscapes

 

Tree and Herb Nursery Services

GCN propagates, grow and distribute indigenous, fruit, shade, and multi-purpose trees, including medicinal herbs. We also provide training in seedling care and sustainable planting techniques.

 

Eco-formation & Education

We nurture intergerational eco-stewards by promoting ecological literacy through faith-based reflections and/ eco-spirituality, story-telling and UN-related events to raise awareness and promote action.

 

Green Enterprise Development & Livelihood Support

As a green enterprise, we promote green skills and opportunities through value-added products like herbals, organic compost, seedlings, thus creating multiple income generation, employment while conserving nature.

 

Eco-learning Hub (Life School)

We provide a practical learning space where young people, schools, faith communities and farmers can visit, learn and engage in experimental activities like composting, agroforestry, seed preservation, biodiversity conservation, bee keeping, vegetable production. The center also serves as a hub for community dialogues and periodic eco-retreats.
