Reforestation · Ghana

Every tree we plant
has an address,
and a history.

Most tree-planting programmes can tell you how many they planted. Yendia can tell you where each one stands, what it looked like last month, and whether it is still alive — because somebody walked to it and recorded that.

What Yendia is

A reforestation programme that closes the gap between donating and knowing.

We restore degraded landscapes with indigenous and agroforestry species, and we measure, report and verify every tree — the same MRV discipline serious carbon projects run on, brought down to the scale of a single donor and a single seedling.

The boundary of every plot is walked on foot. Every tree inside it is a recorded position, not an estimate.

A plot boundary walked by an officer, with the trees registered inside it. Ring vertices are the points they physically stood on.

How it works

From your gift to a living tree, and back to your screen.

  1. 01

    You gift a tree

    Choose a package and pay. Every cedi funds seedlings planted by local field teams.

  2. 02

    We plant and geotag it

    An officer registers the tree on a handset — averaged GPS, species, planter, photograph — and it gets a YEN code that goes on a physical tag.

  3. 03

    We come back

    Repeat visits record height, health and survival. A replacement seedling is logged as its own planting, so mortality is never absorbed by a replacement.

  4. 04

    You see all of it

    Your dashboard shows the trees on a map, their growth, their survival rate and when each was last physically seen.

Why you can believe it

The evidence is collected offline, and it survives the journey.

  • It works with no signal

    Officers work in valleys with no coverage. Everything is written to the handset first and queued; nothing depends on a network.

  • Photographs are hashed at capture

    Each photo is fingerprinted the moment it is taken, and the server re-checks that fingerprint before it accepts the file.

  • Clock drift is recorded, not corrected

    If a handset's clock is wrong, the offset is stored beside the timestamp — so a bad clock is visible rather than baked invisibly into the record.

  • A replacement never hides a death

    Replanting is logged as its own event. The original planting date and planter are never rewritten, so survival is reported honestly.

Measured height, visit by visit

Each point is a field visit where somebody measured a tree and photographed it. The line is not a projection.

Plant your first tree today.

From GHS 30. You get a dashboard that follows your trees as they grow — and tells you the day each one was last seen.
