WHAT IS TREES FOR WEALTH?

    The TFW Movement seeks to combat Climate Change and to make Nagaland the fruit hub of India, opening the doors to a wealth of opportunities for the grassroots. The first phase of 5 years will target 10,000 farmers.

    By 2035, we expect to see the plantation of 100 Million Fruit Trees by 100,000 people.

    By 2050, a cumulative of 1 Billion Fruit trees will be planted by 400,000 people.

    To achieve this, citizen’s participation is crucial and we invite local participation to turn this into a people’s movement for a prosperous Nagaland.

    Entrepreneurs Associates (EA) is organising a run on Saturday, the 11th of April, 2020 to raise funds for the Trees For Wealth Movement.
    The Trees for Wealth Movement seeks to counter the twin issues of Climate Change and Livelihoods through the plantation of fruit trees in Nagaland. The movement will support at least 50 farmers in 200 villages totalling to 10,000 farmers in 5 years time, ensuring that each farmer plants 200 to 300 fruit trees. This means at least 2 million fruit trees are planted in Nagaland. We hope such rural enterprise will not only slow down rural migration to urban areas which is taking place at a frighteningly rapid pace, but will, in the long run, reverse urbanisation. We also hope that economic opportunities created by agro- based forestry will inspire our youth to see opportunities in Land based economy.
    Please come forward and join us on this mission for a better, safer, richer Nagaland.

    OBJECTIVES:

      • The run is for a social cause. All proceeds will go towards procuring fruit tree saplings.
      • The purpose of this run is to raise funds to help pay for 50% cost of the saplings for the farmers.
      • To create awareness for taking action to fight Climate Change as well as to create opportunities for Naga youth in the future.

      The success of the Trees For Wealth Movement will provide as a model for the rest of the country and the world to replicate, making this a mass movement to tackle the challenges of Climate Change.
