Supports the setting up of municipal and community nurseries.

Communities first
Community-based organisations (VOI), local associations, farmers’ associations and nursery management committees: they are the ones who plant, tend and decide.

Why Favini got involved

Its aim: help restore parts of the destroyed forest and protect what remains around Sahavondronina.
What Favini does
- A commitment over several years.
- Environmental training and support for sustainable farming.
- Reviewing, every year, the new village projects Voiala proposes.
- Following the detailed reports and financial account sent by the project supervisor.
