Floresta, a Christian nonprofit organization, reverses deforestation and poverty in the world, by transforming the lives of the rural poor.
Community Development is the process of empowerment. This takes time, but results are profound and long lasting. Community development encourages poor farmers to take ownership of their own problems, and gives them the confidence to apply solutions. | |
Innovative Agriculture and Forestry enables farmers to make the best possible use of the resources that they already possess. We teach and promote agroforestry, reforestation, soil conservation, and a host of other sustainable techniques. | |
Credit helps people afford to progress beyond bare subsistence, as well as to diversify village economies. Micro-enterprise credit is the world’s most effective poverty fighter. | |
Discipleship occurs through the long-term relationships that are formed as the Floresta staff works with community leaders. Through the process of discipleship, people grow in their faith, and become servant leaders in their communities. | |
