Recent record-high temperatures across the USA have put the spotlight on how to cope with the heat. One of God’s best inventions for this is – a TREE! Trees and agriculture can and do go together, and we bring them together in the THRIVE program through Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR).
With FMNR, Farmers Learn to Get Into the Shade
Christopher Shore - Chief Development Officer, WVUS Economic Empowerment
In Niger, the encroaching Sahara Desert is a daily challenge for farmers – the wind, sand, dust, soil degradation, water scarcity, and recurring drought make it hard for farmers to provide well for their families. Restoring and managing trees is proving to be not only a way of growing more crops, but there is a special tree that has the sweet taste of success.
World Vision continues to press forward with Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration, with a number of exciting developments taking place across the African continent. This lays the natural resource management foundation for World Vision’s THRIVE program. World Vision is pushing forward with strategic partnerships, global and regional platforms, developing an evidence base, and pushing ahead with large scale projects.
World Vision is committed to helping our microfinance institution in Senegal flourish and thrive. By this we mean that it can grow to the point that it is able to meet the critical needs for financial services in many of the areas of the country where World Vision works, and is able to pay its own costs from revenues it earns from lending. Right now, VisionFund Senegal is not large enough and does not have enough capital to meet those goals.
World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.
In 2017, 85 percent of World Vision's total operating expenses were used for programs that benefit children, families, and communities in need. Learn More.
