In 2010, Greenpop began with a simple goal: to plant 1,000 trees in one month. Fifteen years later, that spark has matured into a sophisticated, multidisciplinary movement for ecosystem restoration and community resilience across Sub-Saharan Africa.
Throughout our journey, we have proven that restoration is a creative act. Our work has expanded far beyond tree planting, encompassing 23 core projects that demonstrate the breadth of our systemic impact. From creating sustainable livelihoods in rural Malawi, to building a virtual reality museum to fight plastic pollution, to establishing safe green spaces in under-greened communities across South Africa, we have spent 15 years weaving together landscape restoration, urban greening, environmental education, and sustainable eventing. And we have had fun doing it.
