Where the funds go

Two regions,
one model.

Every dollar moves through the same flywheel: plant trees, restore water, fund the clinic. Below is what your gift sustains in the field today, and what it unlocks at full funding.

Project 01

Clean water from the canopy.

Rainwater catchment + shade-grown coffee agroforestry around Manombo Special Reserve.

In rural villages of Madagascar's southeastern coast, our 2024 testing found alarmingly high bacterial contamination in drinking-water sources. The response: a pilot of 60 household-level rainwater catchment tanks across three villages, paired with a five-acre reforestation site planted in shade-grown coffee.

Replanting degraded land stabilizes soils, reduces erosion, increases water infiltration, and shrinks the standing water that breeds malaria. We buy beans directly from local farmers at fair prices, sell the coffee in the U.S., and reinvest 100% of profits into clean water in the same communities.

UGANDA · NEBBI 2°28′ N · 31°05′ E
Project 02

Medicine to the jungle.

Quarterly mobile clinics with EMOTER serving Uganda's West Nile region — plus a coffee-funded clinic in Mabira.

Nebbi District is home to over 350,000 people and just two permanent hospitals. Our partner EMOTER closes that gap with quarterly mobile outreaches — three- to four-day missions that travel into all 16 sub-counties with consultations, lab testing, vaccinations, and essential medicines.

A single mission treats 2,000–3,300 patients, vaccinates 300+ children, supplements 500+ with Vitamin A, and deworms over 1,000. Across the year, that's roughly 8,000 to 12,000 medical interventions. In parallel, in the Mabira Forest Belt, we're building a coffee-centered agroforestry system to make this care self-funding.
