We’re happy to announce that we’ve partnered with One Tree Planted to plant trees!
One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to make it simple for anyone to help the environment by planting trees. Their projects span the globe and are done in partnership with local communities and knowledgeable experts to create an impact for nature, people, and wildlife. Reforestation helps to rebuild forests after fires and floods, provide jobs for social impact, and restore biodiversity. Many projects have overlapping objectives, creating a combination of benefits that contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. To learn more, visit onetreeplanted.org
We’re honored to have reforestation through One Tree Planted as an integral part of our mission.
For every ICFH participant, Tomorrow People Organization will plant a tree!
ICFH is planting with a purpose of supporting the farmers in Thailand. As a small organization we cannot change the world, but we can create a meaningful impact and change the world of an individual. And, with your help, maybe, even of an entire community.
