Justdiggit is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring degraded ecosystems through innovative and community-based projects. The organization was founded with the goal of promoting large-scale landscape restoration and reducing the impacts of climate change. Justdiggit’s main goal is to green drylands and restore biodiversity by engaging local communities in sustainable agricultural practices.

This is done by digging trenches or pits to retain water and reduce soil erosion. Applying this technique makes better use of rainwater, creates jobs and restores parched land. Retaining water in the soil leads to improved vegetation growth, which in turn increases soil fertility. This not only restores local ecosystems, but also contributes to climate change mitigation by capturing carbon in the soil.

An important aspect of Justdiggit’s approach is involving local communities in their projects. They believe that sustainable change can only be achieved by working with the people who depend directly on the land. Involving local farmers and communities in the recovery process not only increases impact but also ensures a sustainable and resilient future.

Justdiggit has launched several projects in different parts of the world, including Kenya and Tanzania. These projects range from greening drylands to promoting sustainable agricultural practices and creating awareness about the importance of landscape restoration.
