Visiting Kibwezi
In Masongaleni, just outside Kibwezi in eastern Kenya, Better Globe’s test farm is located. Better Globe’s forest master Jan Vandenabeele owns the farm, and we have an agreement in place to use the land for tests and training.
The climate here is even drier than in Kiambere, which makes this place perfect for trying out how little water a tree needs to stay alive. In addition to Neem and Mukau trees of various ages, they have also planted 7,5 hectares of mango trees that produce about 50 tonnes of mango every year. The farm has also several different ponds, and advanced irrigation systems. Cactus is also grown here, from which they produce animal feed during the driest part of the year.

Before I heard about Better Globe, I had long been looking for a way to have a sustainable and positive impact on the people and the environment in Africa, while generating an ethical income for myself at the same time. I am so grateful that Better Globe gives me this opportunity and reading the reports about the difference that has already been made for the people and the environment really warms my heart, at the same time as the return on my investment generates a passive income that is of great value to my life.
