Credit Cooperatives in Tanzania
Credit cooperatives, or “VICOBAs” are part of a community-based savings and loan system where communities can come together to pool their resources.  After receiving training in financial management and successful business practices, group members use funds to invest in their land and their businesses, helping them to build a more secure and prosperous future for themselves and their families.

New Program in Burundi, Africa
The people of Burundi have recently emerged from 15 years of devastating civil war.  Help bring Floresta’s work of environmental restoration, economic empowerment, and spiritual transformation to a people in great need.  Don’t miss this chance to be a part of an exciting new chapter of Floresta’s ministry.

Greenhouses in Mexico
Community greenhouses allow farmers to produce a wider variety of crops, greatly improving family nutrition and even creating food surpluses so that families can sell their crops and generate extra revenue.  Greater financial security helps families to stay together by relieving the need for men to seek work elsewhere.

Agroforestry loans in the Dominican Republic
Floresta’s loan program in the Dominican Republic has already empowered thousands of rural farmers to restore their land and provide their families with nutritious food.  With these loans, farmers can utilize innovative agriculture techniques that increase their income and improve their land’s productivity, an investment that will reap rewards for generations to come.

Sheep Projects in Mexico
Sheep play a vital role in the Oaxacan communities.  Not only do these animals provide milk, dairy products and wool, they serve as a living savings account and can be sold in case of emergencies or unexpected expenses.  All of these benefits substantially decrease the vulnerability of many rural farmers who otherwise face a daily struggle to survive.

Watershed reforestation in Haiti
Watersheds are the lifeblood for communities; when a watershed is destroyed the problems seem endless.  Erosion, poor water quality, decreased crop yield, and landslides are all exacerbated by deforestation.  Floresta Haiti is working to reforest watersheds to breathe life and safety back into communities that live off the land.  You can make the difference for these farmers and help them restore their land so they can live—and thrive—on their precious land.

Loans in Thailand
With micro-credit, a little bit really does go a long way.  These life-changing loans enable farmers to invest in their land and start sustainable businesses, allowing them to provide for their families and escape poverty.  

Cisterns in Tanzania
Give the gift of clean water!  The people of Tanzania are at the mercy of inconsistent and unpredictable rainfalls, so storing water is critical to sustain families through dry seasons.  Each cistern will continually provide much-needed water to a family in the Kilimanjaro region. 

$1,000

Mushroom projects
Mushrooms grow incredibly well in these specialized mushroom producing modules.  Mushrooms provide crucial nutrients, especially protein, and can be used as a cash crop for rural families in Mexico.

Family Gardens
Combat hunger with family gardens.  Family gardens increase farmers’ crop yields and improve the quality of food, which in turn raises families’ incomes and improves their nutrition.

$500

Innovative agriculture in Thailand
Research and proper implementation of new and innovative agricultural techniques improves both the quality and yield of each harvest.  This leads to improved nutrition and more marketable crops.  Don’t just give a man a fish, teach a man to fish! 

A loan in Haiti
Floresta’s micro-loan program is central to our work in Haiti.  These life-changing loans enable farmers to invest in their land and start sustainable businesses, allowing them to provide for their families and escape poverty. 

$100

Discipleship in the Dominican Republic
Bible studies foster discipleship and build community. Your gift will help finance leadership training and the materials for a Bible study in the Dominican Republic which will transform lives and impact communities for eternity. 

A hillside of trees
Indigenous trees play a critical role in maintaining a healthy watershed by replenishing valuable nutrients into the soil.  Your gift of $100 will help replant a hillside with native trees and restore vital water sources to communities, preventing devastating erosion and subsequent landslides and restoring the land to productivity.
