World Vision Zambia’s Tree Planting Initiative for Climate Resilience

Namwala district, like many parts of Zambia, is facing the harsh impacts of climate change, including prolonged droughts and deforestation. To help combat these challenges, World Vision Zambia, through its Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) program, has initiated a tree planting activity aimed at restoring the environment and promoting sustainable water management. By planting trees in key areas such as schools, communities, and along water sources, this initiative is helping to improve soil retention, reduce water loss, and create a greener, more resilient landscape.

Beyond environmental restoration, this tree planting activity brings long-term benefits to the community. The newly planted trees will provide shade, enhance air quality, and contribute to a healthier ecosystem. Additionally, by increasing vegetation cover, the initiative helps protect water sources from drying up, ensuring that communities continue to have access to clean and safe water. Through this effort, World Vision Zambia is not only addressing climate change but also empowering local communities with knowledge and practical solutions for environmental sustainability.
