CRU-Africa collects these stories because they show the real people behind the work, not just the numbers. They help us understand how the projects are shaping daily life, strengthening confidence andcrebuilding the relationship between communities andtheir environment.

Through these voices, you cancsee how restoration is creating more than trees. It is opening up opportunities for income, reconnectingcpeople to their cultural identity, and giving families a sense of stability and hope. These experiences show that caring for the land directly supports livelihoods and strengthens resilience, especially for communities that have long been marginalized or overlooked.

Rosette Tumuhimbise – Learning for Herself, Teaching for Her Children

Sezonga Gilido – Building a Better Life One Tree at a Time

Jovanisi Nyiragasigwa – Reclaiming Identity Through the Forest

These stories show a community that refuses to sit back and watch its land fade. Each person is pushing forward in their own way, learning new skills, rebuilding what was lost and choosing hope even in difficult situations. Their voices make it clear that real change is possible when people work together, trust the process and believe that their efforts can shape a better future for their children.
