A Mother's Journey with Earthlungs Reforestation

This month, EarthLungs Reforestation is proud to shine a light on one of our incredible team members, Claris Zawadi Mangi, a mother of seven who embodies resilience and dedication.

Claris' story is a testament to the transformative power of reforestation initiatives, not just for our planet, but for the lives it touches. . From Struggle to Sustainability Claris' path to EarthLungs began with hardship. The dwindling fish stocks in the Tana River, a critical challenge for many in the region, threatened her livelihood as a fishmonger. The struggle to provide for her family, with some of her children even out of school, was a constant weight.

A Turning Point and a Growing Hope

Fueled by a strong will to create a better future, Claris persistently inquired about EarthLungs while selling fish, sensing an opportunity within our organization. Her unwavering determination, even while pregnant with her son Jackson, left a lasting impression.

Empowering Women, Growing Forests

At EarthLungs, we are deeply committed to women's empowerment within the reforestation movement. Recognizing Claris' potential and drive, we welcomed her onto the team, offering her tasks suited to her condition. This decision wasn't just about supporting Claris; it was about recognizing the vital role women play in environmental protection and community development.

A Brighter Future Takes Root

With EarthLungs' support, Claris is not only thriving but also witnessing a beautiful transformation within her family. Her children, previously unable to attend school, are now back in classrooms, equipped with the tools they need to reach their full potential.

Claris' story exemplifies the ripple effect of reforestation initiatives. By restoring our planet's lungs, we not only combat climate change and biodiversity loss, but also empower individuals and families to build a brighter future.
