First, we break the cycle of poverty and deforestation by planting trees to restore productivity to barren, depleted land. This is sustainable development at its most basic. Than we teach the poor innovative agro-forestry techniques they can use t make a sustainable, living wage. Finally, we use business training to help the poor find other income sources and reduce their dependence on agriculture altogether. Through environmental restoration, we create economic opportunity. Throughout the process we make spiritual counseling and guidance available to all those who want it to ensure lasting, meaning transformation.
