Hope Grows from The Groung Up
At the edge of the green corridor linking Nyungwe National Park to Kibira National Park, communities in Burundi are restoring hope through agroforestry and land restoration. Led by Communities of Hope, local people are protecting forests, rivers, and livelihoods—planting trees, creating jobs, and safeguarding food, water, and energy security.

RESTORATION BUSINESS THAT HEAL THE EARTH
Land restoration is challenging—but Perfect Village Communities (PVC) turns it into opportunity. In Burundi, PVC works with farmers to restore degraded land through agroforestry, local herbs, and affordable natural fertilizers and pesticides—boosting incomes, yields, and food security. With support from TerraFund and Restore Local, PVC and local communities are growing 36,000 trees to restore 300 hectares across Bujumbura, Cibitoke, and Bubanza.

Uvira's Land Restoration Warriors
- English (UK)
Uvira—at the northern tip of Lake Tanganyika and a key crossroads linking the DRC, Burundi, Tanzania, and Zambia—has faced decades of conflict and environmental degradation. In response, local communities, alongside Plant with Purpose and Ebenezer Ministry International, are restoring degraded lands through sustainable farming and reforestation. With support from World Resources Institute’s Restore Local initiative and TerraFund partners, farmers are planting hundreds of thousands of trees to protect watersheds and livelihoods in Uvira and Fizi.
