FOURCi stands at the intersection of proven environmental action and sustainable community empowerment. We are chosen by partners and communities because of our integrated approach: we believe climate resilience and human development are inseparable. Our projects are designed with scientific rigor, deep community engagement, and a commitment to long-term, measurable impact. We don’t just implement projects; we build local capacity and create adaptive systems that endure. Our track record of transparent reporting, certified methodologies, and collaborative partnerships ensures your trust and investment leads to tangible, positive change for both the planet and its people.

Our programs are organized across three interconnected pillars:

1. Climate Mitigation & Carbon Projects:

   • Reforestation & Afforestation: Restoring native ecosystems and creating new carbon sinks.

   • Renewable Energy Access: Deploying solar, wind, and micro-hydro solutions for off-grid communities.

   • Clean Cookstove Distribution: Reducing emissions and improving health by replacing open-fire cooking.

   • Agricultural Carbon: Promoting regenerative farming and soil carbon sequestration practices.

2. Climate Adaptation & Community Resilience:

   • Water Security: Building rainwater harvesting systems, protecting watersheds, and promoting efficient irrigation.

   • Sustainable Agriculture & Food Security: Introducing drought-resistant crops and agroforestry systems.

   • Disaster Risk Reduction: Strengthening early warning systems and building climate-smart infrastructure.

   • Ecosystem-based Adaptation: Protecting mangroves, wetlands, and forests as natural shields against climate impacts.

3. Integrated Community Development:

   • Biodiversity & Livelihoods: Creating community-managed conservation areas linked to sustainable income (e.g., eco-tourism, non-timber forest products).

   • Climate Education & Capacity Building: Training for farmers, local leaders, and youth on environmental stewardship.

   • Health & Sanitation: Linking WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) projects with climate resilience.

Absolutely. The competence and professionalism of our team are the foundation of our credibility and success.

• Core Staff & Project Managers: Hold advanced degrees in environmental science, forestry, sustainable development, and related fields. They maintain certifications in project management (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2) and specialized standards like the Gold Standard or VERRA for carbon projects.

• Technical Experts: Our network includes certified agroecologists, licensed forest engineers, accredited auditors, and GIS specialists. They undergo continuous professional development to stay at the forefront of climate science and methodology.

• Field Officers & Community Facilitators: Are locally recruited and extensively trained in participatory methods, monitoring & evaluation (M&E), and specific technical skills (e.g., nursery management, stove installation). They often hold national vocational certifications.

• Volunteers: Complete a mandatory induction program covering our code of conduct, safety protocols, and the specific context of their assignment. Skilled volunteers are matched to roles that fit their verified qualifications and experience.
  We invest heavily in ongoing training and ensure all our operations adhere to international best practices and verification standards.
