See what happens when we give the soil enough time to absorb rainwater 🌧️

This landscape in Kuku, Chyulu, 🇰🇪 has transformed amazingly in just half a year, thanks to Earth Smiles. Before restoration, heavy rain can quickly run off through gullies and eroded waterways, carrying water away before it has time to soak into the soil. help slow this runoff down, giving water more time to infiltrate into the soil.

And the impact? We guess the landscape already speaks for itself! The soil is healthier, is coming back 🌱, and even the trees are flourishing 🌳.

We believe in what’s possible, that landscapes can turn green again, nature can thrive, and that together we can fight against the .

That belief is what drives our work every day. By working with nature and local communities, we give degraded landscapes the support they need to recover and ecosystems the time to thrive. This belief is also shared by the local communities we work with. When they see the potential in their land, they can turn that belief into action, restoring their landscapes one step at a time. 🌱

And when more people believe in what nature can do, we can turn more possibilities into reality and bring to a much bigger scale. 🌍

Same land, same rain. The difference is where the water goes 🌧️🌧️🌧️

On bare, sloped ground, heavy rain runs downhill and takes the soil with it. So, with local communities, we dig : half-moon pits, 2,5 by 5 meters, cut into the hillside to catch that precious rainwater before it escapes.

With this technique, placement is essential! Each Earth Smile is set across the slope, so it slows the runoff and gives the water time to soak in. The soil holds moisture longer, and the seeds already waiting in it finally get their chance to sprout into new greenery.

That returning vegetation is what many people living in these areas depend on: grazing for their livestock, shade, firewood, and soil that stays put in the next storm.

At this site in Kenya, we dug more than 8,000 Earth Smiles by hand. Swipe to see where we dug and where we didn’t 🌱

Every smile is a small decision to keep the rain here.

In Grass Seed Banks, are a win-win for both the grasses and the women managing them 🐝🐝

Beehive fences help protect the grasslands from elephants. Elephants love to eat the grasses, but they’re not big fans of bees! By hanging beehives along the fences, we can help keep elephants away while protecting the grass. 🌾

And the benefits don’t stop there. Women managing the are trained to maintain these beehives, harvest the honey 🍯 and sell it for extra income. This initiative helps women become more financially independent, strengthens their livelihoods and contributes to more resilient community enterprises.

Different project sites, different regreening techniques, different people, but always one shared mission: creating a greener and cooler future for everyone 🌱

06/10/2026

From 2024 to 2026, this Grass Seed Bank in Kuku has been changing year by year. 🌱

What started as a sparse patch of land is becoming a productive source of native grass seed, with Earth Smiles helping to slow down rainwater and create better conditions for grasses to grow.

Watch the transformation and see how the grasses establish and spread across the site over time.

Maasai women groups manage Grass Seed Banks and harvest seeds and hay. The seeds grown here can then be used to support beyond this one site, helping restore more degraded landscapes across the region.

This is an olopololi plot in Lenkobei, , and it just happens to look like the shape of Africa 🌍

is a traditional Maasai grazing management technique used across our project sites. These are marked areas of communal land where grazing is only allowed during specific periods, such as at the end of the dry season when there are fewer other places to graze, or only for certain animals such as calves 🐄.

These olopololi plots also contain , where vegetation can grow back thanks to improved water retention. By restricting grazing, the technique gives young grasses more time to grow, maintaining the of the projects. 🌱

This year, we’re celebrating the power of women in restoration through a series of Women’s Celebration events across our .

During the second event of this series, around 150 women from 20 Grass Seed Banks came together in the Chyulu Landscape for a financial literacy and business learning exchange. Together, they strengthened their skills in budgeting, record keeping, savings and profit calculation, while sharing experiences, challenges and inspiring success stories.

The impact reaches far beyond . Women shared how these businesses are helping them pay school fees, build homes, grow their savings and strengthen their leadership within their communities. 👩🏾‍🌾

A huge thank you to our partners Big Life Foundation, MWCT and Conservation International for making this learning exchange possible. 💚

Stay tuned for the third and final Women’s Celebration later this year!

📍 Location: Chyulu Landscape, Kenya 🇰🇪
🎯 This event contributes to the , including SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 8 (Decent Work & Economic Growth), and SDG 15 (Life on Land).

Over 120,000 trees recovered in the last three months 🌳

Starting in June this year, over 120,000 trees in Upper and Lower Loita, Kenya, have been brought back from previously cut down stumps. Giving a second chance to grow improves soil stability and moisture retention, increases grass cover for livestock, and supports the local microclimate.

But the impact goes beyond nature. This project has directly benefited over 200 households (around 1,200 people) through additional income and better access to grazing land and fertile ground.
