The Chirwa brothers have started planting trees through our Tree Planting project. Their target is to plant 4,000 pine trees as they want to create a sustainable timber business by raising seedlings each year and planting them out. When their first woodlot of trees are ready for harvesting for timber, there will still be other forested areas growing. The Chirwa brothers hope to sell timber to raise money to pay for daily necessities such as food, clothing and school fees but also want to start a business and buy a cow for milk.
