April 15, 2008 As Salaamu Alaikum (May Peace Be Upon You) Prophet said:"If the Hour (end of the world) is about to be established and one of you was holding a palm shoot, let him take advantage of even one second before the Hour is established to plant it." [Sahih Al-Jami' Al-Saghir, No.1424]
Due to carelessness and ignorance, the environment and landscape across the globe is being destroyed. The earth has become polluted and the climate is changing because of the lack of vegetation, among other reasons. Hidaya has initiated the One Million Trees Project to address these concerns. Goals of the Project are to: - Successfully plant and grow one million trees in ten years, worldwide
- Help the new generation to understand the importance and impact of trees on their lives and the ecosystem.
- Teach poor farmers how to plant appropriate trees so they may benefit from low quality farmlands which face issues such as salinity and lack of water.
This Spring, over 70,000 seedlings have been arranged and are being distributed. In Pakistan, students from several schools are planting seedlings with the help of Hidaya's team. Also, several more schools in the USA have contacted Hidaya and seedlings are being distributed for students to plant throughout the country. Hidaya is providing seedlings, free of cost to students and deserving farmers along with brochures which explain the benefits of trees and how to successfully plant and grow them. On an average it costs only $1 per tree. If you would like to learn more about the project or are willing to help us in expanding the project, kindly email, call or donate towards this great cause.
