You and your congregation have the chance to be part of CLWR’s largest response ever.
Around Lake Chad, farmers are fighting back to stop an entire ecosystem from unraveling. We think they can win, but they need your help.
Join thousands of farmers as they restore land, regrow forests, adopt sustainable farming and water management practices, and rebuild a thriving economy.
With your support, over 128,000 people will have better nutrition and water,
plus, higher crop yields—and another 640,000 will live and work in a restored ecosystem.
