an  initiative to make it green

In Syria, the war was not just an armed conflict.

It was a war against every living thing: against people, against the land, and against the future.

In southern Idlib in particular, the war machin didn't just displace families and bomb homes.

It also extended its hand of destruction to the natural world, uprooting thousands of olive, pistachio, fig, grape, and other fruit trees.

Greenness vanished from the land, and hope suffocated in people's hearts.

 But we believe that life is planted anew. Hence, we launched our initiative: "Let's Make It Green Again" to plant fifteen thousand olive and pistachio trees in areas devoured by treachery and reduced to near-desert. Let each tree bear witness to hope... to return... and to perseverance.

Plant shade, fruit, and life for others…

Leave a lasting legacy in a land that deserves life.

*This is our call to every living heart:*

Plant a tree with us, and plant a part of a recovering homeland.

Be a hand that builds, not destroys... Be yourself a green beacon in the heart of this weary land.

Be its shade... Be its legacy.

The target audience of this campaign is the villages and towns of the southern Idlib countryside, including families returning to their homes.

The estimated number of trees is 14,400, a variety of trees, including olives, figs, pistachios, and others.
