In a few days I’m leaving my 20s behind. For obvious reasons I won’t be throwing a party, but if you want to celebrate my 30th birthday with me, soothe my crisis, show me some love, or just contribute to a good cause, please make a donation to this fundraising. (Facebook in Argentina doesn't allow us to make birthday fundraisings).

Every donation counts, big or small. Many organisations are in great need of donations. I've picked this organisation because it means a lot to me. My grandmother, who passed away this year, started buying trees in Vi-skogen long before I was born. The forest keeps growing.


From the website www.viskogen.se:

"Vi Agroforestry (Vi-skogen) is a Swedish development cooperation organisation, fighting poverty and improving the environment through agroforestry. We do this together with small-holder farming families and farmers’ organisations in the Lake Victoria basin in East Africa.

The foundation of Vi Agroforestry’s work is sustainable agriculture and agroforestry – growing trees alongside crops and livestock. It provides increased access to food, access to sustainable energy sources and more income. Sustainable agriculture contributes to the mitigation of climate change and protects against the negative effects of climate change.

Vi Agroforestry works in four countries in Eastern Africa: in Kenya in the Kitale and Kisumu regions, in Uganda around Masaka and Kampala, in Tanzania in the Mara and Kagera regions and in Rwanda around Kigali.

Through agroforestry and strengthening of farmers’ organisations, to empower smallholder farmer families to reduce poverty, hunger, and deforestation, and contribute to increased biodiversity."
