Growing trees against all odds: Neema’s story
173,687
Published 2022-04-14
Neema has seen first hand how deforestation has affected the environment in her village. Only 30 years ago, when she was a child, her village was surrounded by trees. Today, like much of Tanzania, it’s almost completely deforested. Ever since, and only in one generation, temperatures have risen, soils have dried out, and rainfall has grown scarce.
Your searches on Ecosia allow us to support our tree-planting partners at the LEAD Foundation in Tanzania. Thanks to your trees, Neema is starting to see a difference — and to regain hope for a better future for her and her family.

I just joined ECOSIA. Let us work together to make a positive difference. Instead of deforestation, let us plant more trees, cease burning plastics, and limit our actions that are harmful to the environment. We are given time to make a change. Let's not put it to waste. Right now, at this moment, go start for the betterment of our home. This is for our future.

I started using Ecosia after seeing #LetEarthBreathe #LetTheEarthBreathe trending on all my platforms! It’s nice to do something with my climate anxiety. I’ve learned a lot and it’s nice to know that I am not all alone🥺
