About us

Spectrum Africa Fruit Tree Planting Org (Spectrum) is a leading NGO that works in partnership with the Education, Agriculture, Youth Affairs and governments in Africa among others, like minded organizations both for profit and not-for-profit, primary schools, secondary schools to make the world a better place for now and the future.

Spectrum Africa Fruit Tree Planting Org has programs around three main pillars these are:
• Environmental Conservation,
• Economic Empowerment (mainly through Tree-preneurship and Agri-Business) and
• Leadership.
These programs are rolled out in learning institutions (Primary, Secondary and tertiary institutions) across Africa that reach the youth and their communities annually.

The vision of Spectrum Africa Fruit Tree Planting Org is saving species and habitats and reconnecting people with nature.

The mission is ending hunger and poverty in Africa through conserving the environment, forests, protecting the biodiversity, nature, tree planting, protection of water resources, water, sanitation, and improving the livelihoods of indigenous communities through agricultural development and sustainable agroforestry.

Projects:
• Environmental Conservation
Learning Institutions: The environmental conservation pillar is Spectrum Africa´s main pillar. Spectrum Africa works with learning institutions that are primary, secondary and tertiary institutions in Kenya anchored in fruit tree planting activities, installation of dustbins and formation of environmental clubs in the schools that have been selected to be part of the cycle. These environmental conservation clubs are composed of youth that is passionate and determined to make the world a better place and are therefore taught the in and out of conserving the environment, entrepreneurship skills with a focus on Agri-business and Tree-preneurship as well as life skills. With the technical assistance of Spectrum Africa, the institutions will secure specific places to plant the trees and obtained consent to start the Environment club. The clubs will also be facilitated to plant trees, set up Mini botanical gardens, flower beds and pollinator gardens in their schools.
Like-minded organizations: In partnership with other like-minded organizations, dedicated volunteers, and well-wishers, Spectrum Africa Fruit Tree Planting Org will offer the much-needed support to the participating schools.
• Economic Empowerment: This key milestone of ensuring that the students learn and acquire lifetime money making skills will be achieved through Tree-preneurship and Agri-Business. The establishment of tree nurseries for both native and exotic trees, shrubs and ornamental plants will form a key resource base on how these students can take up future investments in Tree-preneurship. The tree Nurseries set up in the participating schools will be managed and expanded to provide enough seedlings both for own use and sale to other interested parties. The income generated from the sale of such seedlings will be ploughed back to expand the tree nurseries and pay out some allowances to the participating students.
• Leadership: The tree planting program designed and run by Spectrum Africa Fruit Tree Planting Org in the participating schools aims at producing future global and regional leaders in Business, politics, environmental protection, Agriculture, law and Social Justice. The program as designed by Spectrum Africa Fruit Tree Planting Org will train and encourage the participating students to take up leadership roles at the school level. This will build up the student´s self-confidence, public speaking skills, networking and persona that is required in ones future life as a leader.

For other net participants we can offer overnight facilities. Also we can offer an expert guidance through trained staff, give an expert opinion, procure expert information and establish new contacts in the field of our work.
