Most people here live from agriculture and livestock. In the area you also find the Vea dam: a <strong>crucial water source<\/strong> on which thousands of people depend for their drinking water or water for agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The riparian forests that once grew along the dam have largely disappeared over the years. Combined with climate change, this deforestation is causing <strong>erosion<\/strong>: fertile soil is becoming polluted, washed away and the lake around the Vea dam is slowly silting up. Many harvests also fail due to long periods of drought or heavy flooding, leading to even more poverty and food shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together with Tree Aid, Blue Deal and the local population, we therefore plant trees to restore the riparian forest. We also introduce agroforestry: a combination of trees and agriculture that provides more food and income. In this way we are step by step improving the<strong> living conditions <\/strong>for and with the people in Ghana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center

Some of these are growing along the river banks of the Vea Dam. Planting trees at this site is important because trees help prevent erosion by holding the soil together. In this way, they prevent (fertile) soil from washing away and make the soil retain water better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also helped farming families with the<strong> introduction of agroforestry<\/strong>. Some 400 farmers have been trained to plant trees that produce food such as mango and cashew. Families can use these products for their own households or to sell at local markets for extra income. And another benefit? The trees provide fertile soil that better holds water: a sustainable alternative to conventional farming methods that actually deplete the soil further.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-slider \">\n\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20211020_001.jpg\" alt=\"opmeer-ghana-bomen-water\" title=\"20211020_001\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211020_108.jpg\" alt=\"Opmeer-ghana-tree-aid\" title=\"Opmeer Ghana Tree Aid\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Kapok-ceiba-pentandra-seedlings.jpg\" alt=\"ghana-seedlings-kapok\" title=\"Kapok (ceiba pentandra) seedlings\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Planted-tree-in-Ghana.jpg\" alt=\"ghana-boom\" title=\"Planted tree in Ghana\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Farmers-in-Ghana.jpg\" alt=\"ghana-farmers\" title=\"Farmers in Ghana\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ghana-nursery-2.jpg\" alt=\"ghana-kwekerij\" title=\"Ghana nursery 2\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ghana-nursery-3.jpg\" alt=\"ghana-kwekerij\" title=\"Ghana nursery 3\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Planted-tree-in-Ghana-2.jpg\" alt=\"ghana-tree-plant\" title=\"Planted tree in Ghana 2\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The next step: additional protection and 35,000 new trees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Planting, but especially keeping trees alive, is quite a challenge in North-Ghana. Water is limited, land-use rules are complex and there are many cattle walking around who like to snack on young trees. We have therefore taken several measures in recent years to deal with this as best we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the coming years, between 2025 and 2031, we will continue with the project. Together with Tree Aid and Blue Deal, we focus (even more) on <strong>monitoring and protecting<\/strong> the trees. We are also supporting the communities with the planting of <strong>another 35,000 tree<\/strong>s for agroforsestry. A large proportion of farmers is already applying agroforestry; we hope to see more of them in the coming years. In the video below, Joshua, one of the participating farmers, explains what the planting means to him.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe title=\"Trees are life | Reforestation in Ghana | Trees for All\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9pY1If60_nk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For and with people of North-Ghana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Without the commitment of the local people, it would not be possible to make this project a success. Luckily, during previous project visits we have experienced that the people are very dedicated and committed to planting trees. A <strong>local field technician<\/strong> has been appointed to support the people in everything involved in the project: growing the trees, planting and caring for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The communities also take care of<strong> protecting the trees<\/strong>. They have built special walls of mud or stones around the young trees that keep hungry cattle away and protect the plantings from drought. For the coming years too, we have provided extra budget to protect the new and existing plantings so that as many young trees as possible grow into adults!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-slider \">\n\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Beschermde-boom-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Beschermde boom\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Bescherming-aanplant-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Bescherming aanplant\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ghana-Geiten-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ghana Geiten\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mudwall-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Mudwall\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mudwalls-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Mudwalls\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Muurtje-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Muurtje\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Omheining-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Omheining\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-highlighted-stories\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n\n                            <div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 overview-item\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/en\/learning-and-adjusting-in-ghana\/\" class=\"post-thumbnail\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Ghana-Geiten.jpg\" alt=\"Learning and adjusting in Ghana: this is how we do that\" title=\"Learning and adjusting in Ghana: this is how we do that\" width=\"675\" height=\"410\"\/>\n                    <\/a>\n                    <h3>Learning and adjusting in Ghana: this is how we do that<\/h3>\n                    <p>Planting forests is not a simple matter.
