New Growth, Nepal
The organisation
New Growth plants fruit, nut, and reforestation trees to aid communities and poor farmers in Simthali, Nepal, who deserve to have a sustainable future free from economic, climate, and environmental degradation.
New Growth wants to help people form a new relationship with the landscape they live in and allow them to take steps to escape the poverty trap they find themselves in. Fruit and nut trees will not just help them but also improve the health of their communities overall. Together with the reforestation process, our vision is that each tree planted will improve people’s lives one tree at a time.
Fruit trees and reforestation mean food, shelter, nutrition, medicine, environmental balance, and community sustainability, which will enable people experiencing poverty to have a more balanced and productive environment in which to live. This process can also bring a new life force within our communities and the ability to change the environmental devastation that the poorest countries continually have to endure.
