Millennium Fellowship Project: Community Advocacy Campaign Strategy On Climate change and food security through afforestation in Kigali
By 2025, we envision that 15% of Kigali's land will be reforested, leading to a 30% increase in soil health, a 20% increase in biodiversity, and a 50% increase in crop yields. We hosted a community advocacy program involving afforestation and planting cover crops to help food security in Kigali.
