Boreka Group is a woman led social enterprise using technology to work with communities to accelerate adoption of nature based solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts and improve livelihoods. Our goal is to develop sustainable carbon sinks focusing on biodiversity through agroforestry models with smallholder farmer community groups. We believe that collective action by communities is key to catalysing climate action for social & environmental impact.
These communities in Arid and Semi Arid Lands own medium & large chunks of land that can be turned into agroforestry models by making use of soil species matching technologies to plant the right species adapted to these climates and making use of mobile technology to support trainings on silvicultural practices by extension services.
Boreka aims to provide a ready international market for the trees and woodlots established by these farmer groups through carbon credits trading & wood products value addition. This will create for them full incomes for their hard work and sweat as well as compensate for the opportunity cost for land and labour for planting activities and surveillance for the biological assets till maturity.
Boreka's main objective is to catalyse and accelerate the implementation of climate action by adopting technological interventions to mobilise, manage and track tree growing activities. Boreka partners with communities to drive and at scale the much needed tree growing activities. Boreka intends to scale to reach millions of small holder farmers and unlock carbon finance opportunities that have emerged in line with changing trends and demands in the climate change and carbon finance space. Boreka partners with major public and private finance institutions including governments and international development organisations to finance the project expansion.
