About Green Gold Social

In my small village in Zambia, the sun rises over the horizon, casting a warm glow on the local borehole. Today, my mother has sent me to draw water and I am excited because this isn’t just any ordinary trip. This borehole is also a vibrant tree nursery, and I can’t wait to help water the young seedlings that will soon find their home in the bush.

As I fill my bucket, I think about the rainy season ahead. It’s not just about collecting water; it’s about planting hope. With every seedling we nurture, we are taking a step towards replacing the trees that have been lost to firewood and charcoal production. Each tree we plant is a promise to our community and our planet.

This is what Green Gold Social is all about—a community-driven Initiative led by young people that is dedicated to restoring our forests and empowering farmers through agroforestry. However, we first need to ensure access to water. We believe that when families have access to enough water for their daily needs, they can also cultivate and care for trees that will thrive for generations.

We need your help to make this dream come true.
