FairLeaf
Fairleaf is a Non Profit committed to expanding the knowledge of moringa throughout rural Nicaragua via food security workshops, nutrition education, and moringa cultivation. We’ll plant a moringa tree (in a community garden, school garden, or family garden) and provide technical assistance on how to care for and utilize moringa to improve local livelihoods. We’ll service communities in sweeps. So, for example, if a community has 1,000 families, we’ll wait until we’ve sold 5,000 products and then we’ll go into the community and plant five trees per family, and provide the training I mentioned above. Before going into a community we’ll rely on our NGO partners to collect baseline indicators of livelihood quality, and then monitor and evaluate the impact of our program in these communities. If communities haven’t achieved a certain threshold of livelihood improvement, we’ll continue to work with them until it’s clear that they can sustainably reap the benefits without outside assistance
