Case Study: EarthLungs creates 691 stable jobs in East Africa with veritree

691 Stable Jobs Created in East Africa

veritree partnered with EarthLungs, an organization focused on reforestation. The challenge was to create a higher standard for environmental restoration in the region while also addressing the issue of local financial instability, which particularly impacted women who often relied on impermanent work.

The solution implemented by veritree enabled EarthLungs to effectively manage and verify its reforestation efforts. The results were significant, including the planting of 30 million trees and the creation of 691 stable local jobs. A major measurable impact was that 50% of these full-time positions were filled by women, providing them with greater financial security, access to healthcare, and the ability to plan for the future.
