StS EDA - Ethiopia
The Self to Self Economic Development Association (StS EDA) wants to help boost planting of trees and other vegetation in southern Ethiopia to benefit both the climate and the economy.
Its goal is to increase income for poor farming families and others interested in plant cultivation, and to enhance awareness among rural people about the benefits of green cover for the climate, species diversity, animal fodder and human and animal wellbeing.
Whole families receive teaching about and practical experience with cultivating various plants, and six new schools are planned during 2017. These will be ecological, using natural fertiliser and dealing with insect pests manually.
