Community Trees in Malawi

Print
In 2007, G4S commenced a tree planting project in Malawi designed to provide 48 families from eight villages with a regular wage, fuel fo their homes, food for their families and an opportunity to make a living by selling surplus produce.

Since the launch , around 75,000 acacia trees have been planted in Northern Malawi and a nursery has been established to grow seedlings for future planting and for sale to third parties.

Maize is planted amongst the fertile soils between the trees, providing an additional source of food and income for the villagers.  The project which has had a very positive impact on the local community and attracted keen attention from the Malawian Government, is set to expand in 2009 to include a further 30 families.
