resulted in extensive deforestation and environmental degradation in the region. In 2018, Plant with
Purpose launched a program to partner with farming families near the upper Blue Nile in the Andabet
woreda in Amhara. The project is led by a team of qualified nationals and supported by U.S.-based
technical staff.
Plant With Purpose's local partner organization, Floresta Ethiopia, works with farming families in the
Andabet woreda, as well as local churches, schools, and other organizations, in order to implement a
holistic model of community development. This model is comprised of economic empowerment,
environmental restoration, and spiritual renewal.
Local farmers in Andabet recognize the problems of erosion, encroachment into church forests,
decreased yields, water table levels, and water availability, and thus want to work with Floresta Ethiopia
and Plant with Purpose. Based on the foundation of long years of research and relationships, established
local leaders in administration and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church have welcomed the Plant
with Purpose watershed transformation approach.
