More than half a million saplings sent to Africa in joint initiative

IRISH people have sent more than half a million tree saplings to Africa as part of a joint initiative launched last October.

Bóthar, the charity that specialises in livestock-based development programmes, and Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, are celebrating the campaign which has seen a 300% increase in tree donations.

These will help develop sustainable farming practices in disadvantaged communities in Tanzania, Malawi, Rwanda, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso and Uganda.
