CAGAYAN DE ORO, PH | We are thrilled to announce that eTanom has reached a major milestone in tree planting. We secured a spot in the Top 5 at the Pitch Fest Competition during Forest Fest 2024. The event took place at Ayala Malls Centrio in Cagayan de Oro City on April 20, 2024.

A Prestigious Win for Tree Planting

As a result, eTanom will join five social enterprises in the Forest Impact Accelerator. This 2-month program will help us implement and monitor our tree planting projects. Additionally, each project will receive Php 100,000 in support.

Our Project

Specifically, our winning project focuses on onboarding Tree Planters from the Mapulog Tree Growers’ Association (MATGA) in Brgy. Mapulog, Naawan, Misamis Oriental. This initiative aims to empower local communities by involving them directly in tree planting. Moreover, it promotes sustainable livelihoods and enhances environmental conservation.

Gratitude and Acknowledgments

We are grateful to The Spark Project for organizing the pitch event and providing invaluable training workshops over the past weeks. Their support, along with that of Forest Foundation Philippines and Xavier Science Foundation, Inc.., was crucial to our success.

Looking Ahead

Looking ahead, the Forest Impact Accelerator offers an excellent opportunity for eTanom to advance our tree planting mission. We are excited to collaborate with other social enterprises, learn from experts, and make a lasting environmental impact.

Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey to transform our project into a reality. Together, we can create a greener and more sustainable future.
