Bonthe Island Sea-Face Mangrove Restoration Project
Mangroves are nature's guardians. Along Bonthe Island's coastline, these remarkable trees have protected communities for generations—filtering water, sheltering marine life, and standing firm against storms and erosion.
Today, that protection is disappearing. Widespread destruction of the mangrove ecosystems has left thousands of residents vulnerable to flooding, particularly those living near the waterfront. The consequences are severe: homes submerged during high tides, livelihoods threatened, and biodiversity in decline.

With your support, we can bring these green guardians back to Bonthe Island and secure a safer, more prosperous future for its people.
