My Nonprofit Reviews

My husband and I started supporting Floresta/Plant With Purpose some 25 years ago by being modest but regular donors. Our church was prayerfully and financially supporting Floresta as a part of its mission program at the time and we trusted their evaluation of the program. I soon became a regular volunteer by helping plan and execute the annual fund-raising effort - the Planting Hope Gala. What a privilege it was to work alongside the efficient and caring office staff! Wanting to really see Floresta at work in the field, our daughter joined us and others to visit Floresta Tanzania in 2006. It was then that we experienced the warm relationships build with the partnering communities and the effective programs built around the Community Savings Bank (VICOBA), agriculture, animal husbandry, tree planting, general environmental issues and church. We continue to be actively involved with Plant With Purpose and are always encouraging others to participate in whatever way possible with this very worthwhile and growing organization.
