Kasigau Corridor REDD+ Project
Our Earthly Partnership
GOOD FOR EARTH
Kasigau Corridor works with over 5,000 local landowners to protect this corridor. A REDD+ project stands for Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation. The project area is home to an incredibly diverse population of wildlife including more than 20 species of bats, over 50 species of large mammals, and over 300 species of birds. It is also home to vital populations of animals found on the IUCN Red List including over 2,000 African Elephants, African Wild Dog, Cheetah and Grevy's Zebra.
POSITIVE FOR PEOPLE
The project has led to the creation of over 300 jobs; the building of 15 new schools; clean safe drinking water for 25,000 people and the formation of 500 women's groups. Kasigau's Q1 impact report shows how education is a key focus with 4,123 bursaries being awarded. These bursaries will support children going to secondary school, University and special care schools; 51% of the support students were young women.
