Number of trees planted by year

Since 2010, we’ve planted thousands of trees at schools, orphanages, universities, and other community-based locations. With over 3,000 trees in the ground (some of which are almost 15 years old!) we’re busy each year not only planting more trees but also taking care of, monitoring, and pruning our existing trees in the community.

DMI student enrollment by year

Ranging from clarinet to strings to general music, we’ve provided music education to hundreds of students in the Kilimanjaro region since 2010. We aim to reach as many students as possible - our yearly enrolment is directly tied to the number of teachers and instruments we have available each year.
