As a non-profit organisation, the Trust relies on the generosity of individual donors, volunteers and charitable trusts and foundations to fund its projects. There are a number of ways you can help:

ensures that communities, families and children we work with will
continue to achieve safe water, food security and receive the tools
they need through our educational programmes.
£50 will purchase corrugated tin for a roof on a family home and
guttering which then enables a family to harvest rain water for
drinking

A key element of the success of Dr. Haller’s work has been the
continual innovation and implementation of the ideas and knowledge
gained from many research projects undertaken by the Baobab Trust
and its volunteers.
Current Opportunities
Openings exist for volunteers/students to spend three months at the
Trust on the understanding that they will undertake research into
areas outlined by Dr. Haller for the Baobab Trust. A scientific
background is usually necessary and students studying plant or
animal sciences will find many opportunities to broaden their
practical experience. Applicants are required to submit a letter of
reference from their school/university. Guidance will be provided in
weekly meetings with Dr. Haller or the head of the project. Each
student will be required to produce a written analysis of the
project at the end of the period.
There are occasionally opportunities for students of architecture to
spend some time volunteering with the Baobab Trust.
Accommodation is provided by Baobab Trust for which there is a small
charge – in simple and secure cottages. Rooms are clean, furnished
and have running water and electricity. Volunteers are responsible
for their own living and travel expenses.
If you are interested in volunteering with the Trust, please contact
Sonal Singh at the Baobab Trust, or Louise Piper at the Haller
Foundation.
About this amazing book......
The book presents in detail the remarkable history of the
transformation of the Bamburi Quarries into the tropical paradise
they are today.
Rene Haller recalls "The ugly wasteland expanded annual by tens of
thousands of square meters. No plants seemed able to establish
themselves. I spent countless hours in the hot dusty barren land,
found a few ferns and perhaps half a dozen grasses struggling to
take root - it was hardly an encouraging environment for tree
planting. However one day I discovered in a remote part of the
quarry five small casuarina trees . Finally I had found some life
which inspired me - a glimmer of hope giving a direction which might
be worthwhile following".
Buy the book and discover what has been achieved in the last thirty
years.
Cost £25.00 inc P+P.
All proceeds to the Baobab Trust.
