Money grows on trees

February-March is the right time to harvest seed from trees like Acacia. Women and children collect all kinds of seeds of different trees. Those seeds are used to reforest new areas in the Sahel region. For this work and for sowing new fields, women receive payments from OZG so they can realize financial independency. Some of those earnings go towards schooling for their childeren (boys and girls).
