Cdurable.info features LIFE

In a recent article by the media outlet Cdurable.info, entitled "Reforestation: humanitarian NGOs take on environmental causes", the far-reaching role of humanitarian NGOs in reforestation is brought to the fore. Within this committed landscape, LIFE stands out for its dynamic approach and high-impact projects.

While many international NGOs work on reforestation, the article highlights the obstacles they sometimes face, notably funding challenges and local political interference. It is against this backdrop that LIFE, as an independent organisation, stands apart. Fanny Fernandes, our Executive Director, shares her experience, stressing the importance of a non-political approach and of support from private donors.

Cdurable.info highlights our Sapousse programme, launched in 2016, which tackles deforestation by supporting the economic development of local communities. Through projects in Indonesia and several African countries, LIFE shows that planting trees goes beyond capturing CO2: it is part of a comprehensive strategy for responsible, sustainable economic activity.

Fanny Fernandes describes how LIFE has evolved since it was founded in 2009, initially focusing on access to water, food and education. Bringing all these dimensions together, the Sapousse programme fits naturally within LIFE's mission, reflecting the fact that human life depends on protecting the environment.

Cdurable.info's article shines a light on our commitment to protecting the environment and supporting communities in need. We invite you to find out more about the practical work of LIFE and to support this positive initiative, which is helping to build a sustainable future.
