Growing hope

This young member of the Lafon Women's Center community is exploring a coconut seedling planted in December as it grows into a healthy sapling.

Members of the Women's Center have just completed a first transplantation of fruit tree saplings from small bags into large ones. These saplings, including nutritional staples like coconut and avocado, are on track to be ready for AFADLA's May 1st tree planting event, when they will be distributed throughout the community.

Translation:

Fruit Tree Planting Day

We want to protect our water sources

We want to combat food insecurity

We want to protect our environment

We want sustainable development

1st May 2026

I will plant a tree, it's my choice.

Fabienne Lerine, the groups' President, informs me that "May is an ideal time for the transplant. This is a period with plenty of rain."

This tree planting initiative is part of AFADLA's core mission to build environmental sustainability and food security within their community.
