Climate change is not a distant concern for the farming communities GEHESE works with, it shows up every season as unpredictable rainfall and shifting growing conditions.
Climate-smart agriculture
Simple, low-cost practices like mulching, drought-tolerant crop varieties, and improved water management help farmers absorb shocks that would otherwise wipe out a season's harvest.
Nature-based solutions
Tree planting and ecosystem restoration along watersheds are not just environmental projects, they directly protect the farmland and water sources communities depend on.
Education as the multiplier
Climate awareness sessions in schools and community meetings help this knowledge spread well beyond the households directly involved in a project.
