From today onwards, we are supporting the school project of StartUp4Kids, a foundation that aims for a world where all children have the opportunity to develop themselves so that they can shape their lives independently and according to their own preferences, while caring for their community and the planet.
The foundation achieves this by offering children and mothers life skills programs where they learn about themselves, their rights and responsibilities, saving and handling money, planning and budgeting, and entrepreneurship. Children and mothers learn by doing, so they really start saving, taking care of their vegetable gardens, setting up their businesses, and planting trees, allowing them to create a healthier, greener, and more independent future for themselves.
“I believe that society benefits when young children go outside,
put their hands in the soil, and plant trees. Planting trees and shrubs
is a great way for children to connect with the environment and
their community.” – Olivia Newton John –
Trees for Miles, a project of ITL and yours
The more successful our collaboration, the more miles we drive, the more trees the children in Botswana can plant in 2024. Thus, we are making Trees for Miles a project of ours together.
For every 100.000 kilometers, we plant 5 trees.
We give a kick start to the project by planting 50 fruit trees now. With 50 fruit trees, we provide shade for 500 children and feed 5,000 people in Botswana. Imagine, at 400,000 km per month, that’s 240 trees per year. For 2024, our ambition is to double this number. That will be our goal for 2024. Together, we will make the world a little more beautiful with Trees for Miles.
