About

Sustainable development is hindered in some regions because of the communities’ inability to capitalize on the potential of their land. To activate and strengthen their capacity to do so, the fertility of degraded land must be restored through carefully judged interventions, after which it must be continuously valorized through targeted exploitation. To that end, the natural regeneration of the Sahel region of Africa can be catalyzed using best practice techniques from earth and social sciences to restore and optimize original ecosystems, and by utilizing simple agricultural techniques such as direct sowing. With the cooperation of investors from developed countries, it is possible to regenerate degraded soils on a large scale among areas vulnerable to climate change and marginalized from the world economy.

Since 2007, Lignaverda has been at the forefront of sustainable development in semi-arid areas. Accredited by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), Lignaverda is committed to making a positive impact on the environment and local communities.

One of Lignaverda's key projects is their involvement in "The Great Green Wall" initiative, which aims to plant an 8,000 km long belt of trees across Africa to combat desertification and restore degraded land. Lignaverda is proud to be contributing to this project in Senegal and Namibia.

Lignaverda is also the only Tree Plant Organization in Namibia, where they protect their forests with fencing and continuously monitor their progress.

But what sets Lignaverda apart from other organizations is their commitment to transparency and community involvement. Lignaverda is open about their work and communicates openly about their results and challenges. They also take a bottom-up approach to development, involving the community in making decisions and shaping their economic future.

Lignaverda is cost-efficient, ensuring that all profits made go directly to the local people. And they make a significant impact on a variety of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including food security, education, gender equality, water, economy, climate, biodiversity, peace and stability, and partnerships.

So, if you're looking for a non-profit organization that is committed to sustainability, transparency, and community involvement, consider supporting Lignaverda. Together, we can make a difference in the world!
