Today back on the Podcast is Beau one of the co-founders of Kijani Forestry in Uganda! Their mission: Plant 150 million trees by 2025 to break the cycle of poverty for millions. Changing rainfall patterns are devastating the lives of African farmers. Even worse, to survive droughts, farmers often turn to deforestation to feed their families. Kijani partners with farmers to plant millions of trees to provide sustainable livelihoods and reverse deforestation. We plant trees to break the cycle of climate-induced poverty in Africa.
The mission: Plant 150 million trees by 2025 to break the cycle of poverty for millions.
Kijani Forestry was started around a simple idea:
Could we reverse the rampant deforestation in Uganda through a scalable, financially sustainable, and holistic business model?
Kijani Forestry was started around a simple idea:

The three cofounders, Paul, Quinn and Beau, met in Uganda in 2013 and our friendship grew while working together through years blood, sweat, tears, and some serious bushwacking. Throughout that time, the deforestation became alarmingly visible and was paired with sharp increases in charcoal prices in the region. After seeing how intricately linked these problems were with the changing weather patterns, decreasing crop yields, and ongoing cycle of poverty, we knew we had to do something.
