Supporting Rural Livelihoods and Restoring Local Environments
HHHJapan has promoted agroforestry in typhoon-affected communities on Leyte Island in the Philippines by combining trees, fruit trees, vegetables, root crops, livestock and other elements.

Beyond planting seedlings, we value farmer-to-farmer learning and systems that local communities can sustain over time.
