Impacts we have made together - 
With your help, our projects have created a huge impact across the globe. With Chimp corridors in Uganda, campaigns to empower women for the planet in Kenya, the restoration of key watersheds in Ghana and so much more, your support really does change the world.

All revenue generated from the sales of our clothing helps to plant more trees, regenerate our forests and spread awareness of important issues in the same way as our search engine does. So thank you, and we hope you love your new super soft cotton tees.
Rampant deforestation is threatening Uganda’s natural forests. Wildlife, biodiversity and forest ecosystems are under immense pressure.

What agroforestry means, and why we support it - 

A short and simple definition of agroforestry is agriculture with trees. Agriculture is one of the biggest drivers of deforestation. But agroforestry proves that agriculture and trees can thrive together.
