Challenged by the menace of deforestation and the devastating effects of the climate change resulting in soil erosion, global warming, desertification and soil infertility, Emmanuel seeing himself as a future generation, embarked on reforestation in order to preserve the environment. This passion was what gave birth to the launching of the “Greening Burundi” Project,” with the hope of planting 1 million trees in Burundi.

In the 1st Phase of the #GreeningBurundi project, 40,000 trees were planted and by the 2nd phase, a total of 256,738 trees. This year 2020, we have commenced with the setting up of the nursery for the 1 million trees to be planted and the 3rd phase planting commences 16th May.

The goal is alive and Emmanuel Niyoyabikoze and his team are focused on planting 50 million trees in Burundi territories.
