Reforestation · Ghana

Every tree has an address, and a history.

Most programmes can tell you how many they planted. We can tell you where each one stands, what it looked like last month, and whether it is still alive.

Every tree on this site was recorded in the field, not estimated.

What Yendia is

A reforestation programme that closes the gap between donating and knowing.

We restore degraded landscapes with indigenous and agroforestry species, and we measure, report and verify every tree — the same MRV discipline serious carbon projects run on, brought down to the scale of a single donor and a single seedling.

A plot boundary walked by an officer, with the trees registered inside it. Ring vertices are points they physically stood on — the boundary is not drawn on a map, it is walked on foot.

Tracking and monitoring

The tree is tracked from the moment it goes in the ground.

Field officers carry the Yendia handset app. It registers each seedling where it stands, keeps working with no signal, and syncs the queue when the phone next finds a network — which is how a donor dashboard ends up showing field truth rather than a plan.

Registered where it stands

The app averages a run of GPS fixes rather than taking one, records species and planter, and mints a YEN code that goes onto a physical tag on the tree.

Monitored on a cadence

Every tree falls due for a visit on a fixed schedule. The round planner groups what is owed by plot, so an officer walks one route rather than criss-crossing a site.

Visible on your dashboard

Height, health, survival and the date each tree was last physically seen — the same records the officer filed, not a summary of them.

How it works

From your gift to a living tree, and back to your screen.

01

You gift a tree

Choose a package and pay. Every cedi funds seedlings planted by local field teams.

02

We plant and geotag it

An officer registers the tree on a handset — averaged GPS, species, planter, photograph — and it gets a YEN code that goes on a physical tag.

03

We come back

Repeat visits record height, health and survival. A replacement seedling is logged as its own planting, so mortality is never absorbed by a replacement.

04

You see all of it

Your dashboard shows the trees on a map, their growth, their survival rate and when each was last physically seen.

Why you can believe it

The evidence is collected offline, and it survives the journey.

It works with no signal

Officers work in valleys with no coverage. Everything is written to the handset first and queued; nothing depends on a network.

Photographs are hashed at capture

Each photo is fingerprinted the moment it is taken, and the server re-checks that fingerprint before it accepts the file.

Clock drift is recorded, not corrected

If a handset's clock is wrong, the offset is stored beside the timestamp — so a bad clock is visible rather than baked invisibly into the record.

A replacement never hides a death

Replanting is logged as its own event. The original planting date and planter are never rewritten, so survival is reported honestly.

Measured height, visit by visit

Each point is a field visit where somebody measured a tree and photographed it. The line is not a projection.

From GHS 30. You get a dashboard that follows your trees as they grow — and tells you the day each one was last seen.
