Creating a Living Wage for Communities in Extreme Poverty Through Large-Scale Tree Planting & Long-Term Forest Conservation
Our humanitarian and environmental nonprofit programs are built around a community-based "Recruit & Restore" strategy, which provides work and income benefits for vulnerable villagers in Africa through large-scale tree planting and long-term forest conservation projects. Since 2012, this effort to Alleviate Poverty by Restoring Nature at the locations we support in Madagascar and Tanzania has served as an innovative and holistic solution for transforming a spiral of poverty-based decline into a virtuous cycle of positive progress for both people and planet.
Every $20 donated to our ReWrite Our Story initiative supports:
RELIEVING POVERTY – You will fund one full day of work and fair income for people living in extreme poverty
RESTORING NATURE – The work will plant and protect 45 mangroves or ficuses on your behalf at two project sites in Africa
REMOVING CO2 – This level of fresh planting sequesters around 1 metric ton of CO2 during a typical maturation period
REDUCING EMISSIONS – Become better informed on low-carbon lifestyle choices through our Sustainable Solutions series
Also, if you simply opt to donate $20 a month (or $240 a year), Purpose on the Planet will plant an additional 60 trees (for 600 in total), so that you can become “Climate Positive”, as a result of removing more CO2 from the air than the average US resident emits in a full year. In addition, you'll be contributing to a 4-pronged climate action plan that also works to impact 12 of the world's 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
