Ma’an’s scorching heat and high unemployment didn’t stop Jameel and Hania from joining our climate resilience project to make communities more sustainable.

For years, Alex Alinga, a farmer from Apenaony village in Uganda’s Kole District, struggled with declining crop yields and poor health due to deforestation and harmful farming practices. Like many in his community, he unknowingly contributed to environmental degradation by cutting down indigenous trees, which led to soil infertility, harsh microclimates, and smoke-related health issues. In August 2024, World Vision introduced Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), a sustainable method of restoring tree cover and soil health. Through training, Alex learned to protect tree stumps, nurture regrowth, and appreciate the medicinal and ecological value of indigenous species.

World Vision Ethiopia restores land with FMNR & agroforestry, planting millions of trees and supporting farmers for greener, resilient communities.

World Vision Ethiopia delivers solar water systems, FMNR, and climate-smart sanitation to protect children’s health and build resilient communities.

World Vision continues to advocate for climate resilience strategies that prioritise children and communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

World Vision Ethiopia combats deforestation and water scarcity with FMNR and climate-smart solutions, restoring land and improving children’s lives.
