The project’s achievements so far:

Since 2010, EcoFormation has reforested an area of 2’000Ha, representing a bit less of a third of the global objective of 7’200Ha. Every year, about 1’600’000 seedlings are produced. EcoFormation train each year about 35 apprentices and has created so far 450 positions in a region where unemployment rates reaches about 67% of the population and the daily income is of 0,70 cts. per inhabitant.

If we reach the amount of 10'000 Euros we will be able to more than double our objectives and to reforest an area of 740 hectares during campaign 2015-2016 (in comparison, we reforested 340 in season 2014-2015).

- Beyond 10'000 Euros, for every 150 Euros collected, we will be able to hire two extra people (they work in pair) and buy enough seedlings to increase the capacity of planting.

- With 11'000 Euros we can increase our team, hiring up to 14 additional people ! This will help us boost the planting with about +10% efficiency and to get to around 800 hectares planted !

- With 13'000 Euros we use 2'000 Euros to hire more people (2 people per 150 Euros)... and 1'000 Euros to rent an additional tractor and fuel (we have 3 tractors, 1 jeep and 2 trailers) for the duration of the planting season ! (800 hectares is a rather vast area... mobility is key for gaining extra efficiency)

- With 15'000 Euros we can keep on increasing our efficiency with a bigger team and more means - tractors, trailers, seedlings, fuel, food... With 15'000 Euros we have a good chance to reach 1'000 hectares which would be an absolutely amazing achievement !
