Project story
Our Mission
Growing up in one of the world's poorest nations, I witnessed firsthand how women face relentless barriers to education and opportunity. These experiences ignited my passion to create meaningful change.
Today, I'm driven by Madagascar's stunning baobab forests and an urgent vision: to transform conservation by centering women's voices and leadership.
What We're Building
Our organization empowers women across southwest Madagascar to become conservation champions. We provide comprehensive training, ensure women lead decision-making processes, and create sustainable livelihoods rooted in environmental stewardship.
Through research and community collaboration, we're building a future where women thrive as conservation leaders, local communities flourish, and Madagascar's irreplaceable biodiversity thrives for generations to come.
Your support directly funds baobab restoration, research initiatives for baobab-derived products for women to be business entrepreneurs. Together, we're proving that when women lead conservation efforts, everyone—and our planet—benefits.
