  ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION
  
  Permaculture and Agroforestry project.
  Our organization is a permaculture and agroforestry center training and demonstrating to people about permaculture and also working with local schools and community to plant the over 65,000 seedlings we are producing from our three tree nurseries.
  
  Our center's main focus is the fight against climate change and we are aggressively involved in protecting and rehabilitation an indigenous forest by planting trees, controlling erosion and limiting grazing to allow natural regeneration of the local trees species of which some are threatened.
  
  These efforts came about when we noticed dwindling fortunes especially when we noticed high level of natural resources depletion and loss of biodiversity and ecosystems in the Rusinga island, which made the islands vegetation cover to grow less day by day.
