Over the last 10 years, we’re planted tens of thousands of trees on our various agricultural plots. Most of those trees have been a type of Eucalyptus as well as Acacia (which is indigenous to Malawi). Our hope was to fight the deforestation that is rampant in Malawi, as almost everyone in rural areas uses firewood for cooking. Last year we planted about 100 fruit trees- banana, mango, papaya, and orange. So far they are doing well. We’ll hope that this provides some healthy nutrition to the area.
