Process Steps

Donations

The process begins with receiving donations from individuals or institutions. Donors can sponsor a tree or a group of trees for a specified amount.

Planting

Saplings and seeds are cultivated in the research nursery located between Azaz and Afrin. The nursery includes full infrastructure such as greenhouses and clay houses to provide optimal conditions for saplings' growth. After growth, the saplings are planted in specific locations in northern Syria according to a scientific study of the local environment.

Step 2: Sprouting sapling, tree growth, nurturing plants, environmental care

Tree Care

After planting, trees receive continuous care, including irrigation, organic fertilization, and protection from animals and uncontrolled grazing. The project relies on organic farming using vermicompost fertilizer produced in the nursery.

Step 3: Mature tree, full growth, environmental impact, sustainable ecosystem

Sustainability and Follow-up

The project ensures tree care for at least five years to guarantee sustainability and productivity, with regular follow-ups by agricultural teams and volunteers.

Step 4: Ecology, environmental balance, green planet, sustainable future

Donation Process

Select a Tree

Donors can visit the website and select the type of trees they want to sponsor (e.g., olive, grape, almond). The cost of planting and caring for a tree for five years is $25.

Registration and Tracking

After donating, the donor receives a unique QR code for each tree donated. This code allows tracking the tree's growth and geographical location via GPS.

Receive Updates

Donors receive periodic reports, including photos and updates about their trees' progress, as well as information on how they contribute to supporting education and caring for orphans.

Tree Tracking

The project relies on an advanced tracking system using GPS.

Tracking progress, environmental monitoring, sustainability tracking, green initiatives

After planting the tree, an identification board with a QR code is attached to each tree.
Donors can scan the code to get detailed information about the tree’s location and planting date.
Donors receive annual updates including photos of the tree, a report on its growth and productivity, and how it contributes to supporting education for orphaned children.

Types of Trees

The project focuses on planting various types of fruit and forest trees that have significant environmental and economic benefits, including

Project Stages

Production Environmental Nursery

The nursery is equipped with an area of 65 dunams, provided with necessary facilities such as wells and production sections for forest and food trees aimed at producing healthy seedlings.

Team and Partner Mobilization

The project includes a specialized team in agriculture and management, along with a group of partner agricultural and developmental institutions like Medad Foundation.

Environmental Analysis

Study of local and international Syrian agricultural resources to determine the best species for planting, focusing on products with multiple environmental and economic sustainability benefits.

Seedling Security and Agriculture Preparation

Researching seedling sources and preparing suitable land for planting, ensuring appropriate conditions to obtain clean, green seedlings that achieve the required environmental impact.

Care and Continuity

Continuous care over five years to ensure the continuity of the project and monitor the planted fields to maintain the success of the project.

Investment

Raising environmental and economic awareness among the local public, and creating economic resources based on agricultural products to improve living standards.
