There is nothing more empowering then giving someone the tools to harvest their business, and KOMAZA is a social enterprise that creates sustainable economic work for Farmers in Africa. Through the semi-arid regions of Africa, the company partners with families to create and maintain small tree farms.
These small-scale, income-generating tree farms help give back to the communities who harvest them and creates a lasting change on the earth. This idea of micro-forestry helps to end poverty in the drought-sticken plains of Africa. The organization has created its own grassroots model in which the communities maintaining these mini forests can have an income and become equipped with resources. By creating high-quality crops on degraded land, KOMAZA has changed the way we interpret forestation.
