Tanama will lend her name to projects, both in Haiti and elsewhere, where her endorsement or assistance will help advance tree planting, supporting smallholder farmers and advancing gender equality. Here are the first two such projects:

Tanama is Ambassador for the 2020 Tree Campaign in Haiti

#SHE_BUILDS, a new organization harnessing the power of women as change makers, enlisted Tanama to launch their 2020 campaign to promote and highlight tree planting in Haiti. The Smallholder Farmers Alliance has pledged one million of the trees they will plant in 2020 with Haitian farmers to that end, noting that these same trees are part of Timberland’s recently announced international goal to plant 25 million trees in the next five years. 

Tanama is Ambassador for the Caribbean Tree Planting Project

The Haitian #SHE_BUILDS campaign is, in turn, part of the Caribbean Tree Planting Project being led by the Caribbean Philanthropic Alliance together with regional and national partners. On March 13th Tanama lent her name to this new regional initiative. On June 5, World Environment Day, Tanama will announce the total number of Caribbean countries and territories that have signed on by then and the projected number of trees that will be planted in the region by June 2021.
