The Drylands Natural Resoures Centre (DNRC) is a Kenyan non-profit founded in 2007 by Nicholas Syano. The DNRC enables subsistence farmers in the drylands of Kenya to plant drought-resistant trees. These trees improve farmers' soils, diets, and crop yields, and offer the most marginalized communities in Africa a way to restore their land and secure their economic future. The DNRC provides farmers with agroforestry inputs, classroom and field training, and long-term credit and commercial support, so they have all the tools they need to better manage their natural resources.Since 2009 we have planted over 100,000 trees, generating a sustainable source of firewood and supplemental nutrition from fruits, nuts, and leaves for over 2,000 people.
