Communities are ready and land has been granted. This is your opportunity to support the 2014 planting season!
Make this season transformational for Morocco by donating to the High Atlas Foundation’s nursery projects. Public and private partners have lent nine plots of land in nine provinces. Your help can provide seeds for community nurseries before the season ends in just six weeks!
Your donation of $100 will plant 200 trees and provide irrigation and training to ensure nursery maintenance. On January 16th, 2014, we planted the one millionth tree. These next weeks, we can plant an additional 1,620,000 organic seeds and benefit 100,000 people. CLICK HERE TO IMPLEMENT NOW
