£30 could pay for a set of picture books to educate a community on land rights. communities are often unaware that they need to acquire the rights in order to protect the land they’ve lived on for centuries.

£40 could pay for a tree to be planted and nurtured. This helps to protect the environment and provide food for a family.

£85 could provide raincoats, boots, and medicine for an Environmental Rights Defender. These Defenders gather evidence and monitor areas where land is being grabbed. They play a crucial role in the project

£180 could pay for a Community Support Grant. This helps with the land claim process, especially the legal fees.
