Vi Agroforestry is presently working in three East African countries: Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. We focus on where we are most relevant and can make a difference – both in terms of which countries to work in and what areas in the countries. The selection is based on criteria such as an area’s vulnerability to climate change, the value we can contribute, and resources available. In the coming years, Vi Agroforestry will look into expanding our geographical area, both within the current countries in East Africa, and into new countries. Special attention will be given to exploring arid and semi-arid areas where agroforestry has great potential to make unproductive lands fertile.

Our work in Rwanda 2005 - 2022
In 2022, we phased out our work in Rwanda. By then, we had planted approximately 18 million trees since the beginning in 2005. Our work in the country has provided farming families with the opportunity to reduce poverty, hunger, and deforestation while increasing biodiversity.
