This gives me so much hope. I love how it's not a handout too. Things can be done! Start locally. Every city is full of useless abandoned properties. Zero in on them. Put them to use!
What about using something like this when planting seedlings? www.groasis.com/en/technology/the-groasis-growboxx-plantcocoon-biodegradable-it-is-made-of-recycled-paper And what about showing them how to build efficient rocket stoves and simple to complex solar ovens so they are no longer dependent on wood for cooking?

Greetings from Malaysia. My tears drop when i see this video of human benevolence. Lets all be part of human being again. To care and nourish. Thank you
How wonderful. I am not a rich American. In fact considered in poverty. But I don’t feel poor. I have only my appreciation really to offer. But you have that, and my deep respect.
Wind powered would be even more low tech and therefore cheaper and more reliable. And when there's no wind, a crank can be attached so that people can turn it by hand. Gasoline, or whatever they're currently using is obviously unsustainable, but solar power is far from perfect too. The materials to make solar panels have to be mined in unsustainable ways, and solar panels themselves are not ecologically sound, meaning they don't biodegrade and are hard or impossible to recycle entirely.
So many “SO CALLED” charities could learn a lot from this, instead of making themselves rich while only using a small percentage of money donated to actually helping people.
Amazing history, it is a touching. I believe that this is a result of passion and love for vulnerable and the poor; not for money laundering it is from the bottom of the heart. God bless you
This video sky is amazing. This is so uplifting in comparison to most of the material I spend time viewing that highlight inequality... It makes my heart leap of joy to know that some of those ladies burden have been aliviated, not sure why is so in black culture that the woman is the mule. The smiles on those kids face is a breath of fresh air, priceless . God bless hi and his family.
He it is Who sends down water from the sky; from it you drink and from it the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture. With it He causes to grow for you the crops, the olives, the date palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit. Verily, in this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for a people who give thought. (Al-Quran, Surah An-Nahl: 10-11)
I think the family in this video understands that everybody wants better for themselves and their children. When given the proper education, finances and guidance they will grow as naturally as the forest. But even a damaged forest needs a helping hand.
Yeah, it's not like Ethiopians suddenly one day forgot how to take care of Ethiopia and decided to cut down all the trees just for the heck of it. They were driven to it by extreme poverty, imposed on them by colonizers and capitalists. Let's not leave out that part of the story.
Kurt Pfister, Irene Pfister, Simon Pfister and Erin Pfister. Thank you & appreciate for your great help for Ethiopia. How can we help this organization? We want to help this organization. Please let us know how to reach you and help the organization.
As a half Jewish German, I am proud hehehe. But they should build pushcarts for the women. I have built simple push carts all entirely made of wood. (Just put lard, butter, margarine or grease to the holes where the wheels go. I don't why the men there insist the women carry heavy loads. They do not value their women.
Hello and blessings. I would like for Mr and Mrs. Pfister to please contact me, in an effort to emulate this wonderful example in south America. Mil gracias.

This needs to be done across the globe,it's a way of reducing CO2 and restoring the natural balance.
Exactly. Restoring ecosystems is the solution.
Some great German eco warriors this planet has seen, practicality not protest, love you

Hey Simon, thank you so much for this video, it is a great inspiration to see this in my native Ethiopia.
Fantastic program. I wonder if solar waterpumps wouldnt be a better idea in the long run, the sun is for free after all.

Fruit trees!!!!! Yes, fruit trees provide foods and aren't usually cut down for fuel.
What a great man .I thank you for helping my people.
brilliant to see all the good work done and the people helping themselves...
Plant lots of trees🌱. Prevent soil erosion and absorb carbon dioxide
Plany trees🌱🌳. Save many life 🌱🌿🍃🌳🌲🌍🌏🌎🌳🌲🌱🍃🌿🌲🌳🌳

If you are looking for a way to help the environment you can use ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees

Using human waste like bath water for watering plants and clean water for drink, cooking and animals drink would be a good idea.
My kind of hero!
I think the family in this video understands that everybody wants better for themselves and their children. When given the proper education, finances and guidance they will grow as naturally as the forest. But even a damaged forest needs a helping hand.
Heart touching. The school teacher and the kids have such beautiful voice. What’s a lovely song. It’s very very beautiful.
Good news for the whole world.
This kids are beautiful singers..Why not record their songs and sale them
for profit to restore Ethiopia..
Martha, great idea, we will look into that! Thank you and best wishes
Beautiful thinking, Martha! There is abundance all around us.
you left out wars imposed on them. Ethiopia was once the most advanced countries the Greeks used to praise them for their knowledge.

If they invest in solar power they can run the pumps all time cheaper
if you build a really sustainable pump like at 4:14 there is no need for big investment and fuel!
Simply fantastic. God bless Pfister family.
Kurt Pfister, Irene Pfister, Simon Pfister and Erin Pfister. Thank you & appreciate for your great help for Ethiopia.

Even as a German this guy is difficult to understand
thanks for sharing this video watching from Fiji vinaka and thank you.
The women also need to know how to take care of the donkeys so they wont go thirsty, etc.
I hope one of your partners is Ecosia, also coming out of Germany
I love this project its very inspiring. it helped a lot to global climate change , help the economy and food security.
Woman @5.20 sounds like she's reciting a poetry.
I'm intrigued by the language.
I had always heard that was a Chinese proverb.
It does your heart and soul good to see people taking their country back one tree at a time. God bless them, with joy and health.
Middle east should grow fruites.
