KOMAZA works to unlock the economic potential of tree farming to generate life-changing income for rural families living in absolute poverty. Millions of African families struggle to survive by farming traditional food crops ill-suited to their dry semi-arid environments. With inadequate food yields and no cash income, these rural families struggle to provide the necessities of life. A successful tree farm will open doors to healthcare, education and further economic opportunities.
KOMAZA (Swahili for "promote development; encourage growth") generates unprecedented income for rural families by planting Eucalyptus as a high-value cash crop. Eucalyptus farming is a low-risk and high-profit investment, ideally suited to the environments where our families live. KOMAZA provides the finances, training and market access necessary for high-value tree farming, and our farmers provide their land and labor. Working together, we create a life-changing increase in family income, enabling our farmers to break the cycle of poverty by investing in themselves and in their children.
