What is Monduli Green?

The Monduli Green project works with local communities and schools in Tanzania to improve the environment and the facilities for young children. The projects aim is to update water collection systems in the area, plant 20,000 new trees in 2014 and improve current school buildings. Ellesmere College students participate in fundraising projects and visit the reforestation and water projects in Africa in order to see how the money they have raised is changing people's lives.  See their Facebook page here
