Climate Change Awareness

Climate change poses significant threats to our planet, including rising temperatures, extreme weather events, ecosystem disruption. Our awareness campaign was aims to educate communities, schools, and local stakeholders about climate change causes, effects and solutions.

Cashew Plantations:

Cashew trees are excellent choice for combating climate change due to their:

1. Carbon Sequestration capabilities
2. Drought tolerance.
3. Soil erosion prevention.
4. Economic benefits for farmers.

Objectives of this project were:

1. Raise awareness about climate change and its impacts.
2. Promote cashew plantations as sustainable practices.
3. Engage communities in tree-planting activities.
4. Support farmers in adopting climate-resilient agriculture.

Methodology that were used are;

1. Workshops was conducted and training were giving to Sori No.1 community on importance of trees planting and how to plant cashew seedling and nurture them to grow to help mitigate the impacts of climate change.
2. Safe Generations distributed educational materials and brochures to the community members and the schools children.
3. We organized community tree planting events on 20 hectare of degraded landscape to restore the vegetation cover with Cashew trees which we got from Tree Aid Ghana and Northcode Ghana cashew nursery project.
4. We collaborated with local schools to add climate change awareness on their schools curriculums.

Outcomes on this project.

1. About 5000 people both direct and indirect benefited on our climate change awareness and its effects.
2. Two groups which was women and youth groups numbering about two hundred people benefited on improving their understanding on Cashew plantation benefits.
3. Safe Generations was able to enhanced Sori No.1 Community engagement in sustainable practices.
4. Safe Generations were able to support for climate-resilient agriculture among farmers in Sori. No. 1.
