Why us?
Every planted sapling is important and precious to us; thus, we consider all the procedures to be performed after planting. To plant a tree is a good deed itself, but this is not the end. After planting, a sapling requires continuous attention until it grows into a real tree. Our goal is to make all efforts to support this process and grow saplings into trees. There are a few other greenery projects, but our key distinction is that we supervise the whole process and take care of our planted saplings. We believe that by this approach, all the saplings purchased through your contributions will turn into big and strong trees, supporting our and our children’s health.
