The Afghanistan Samsortya is a non-profit organization based in Massachusetts, operating in Surkrhud District near Jalalabad City in Eastern Afghanistan.

The mission of Samsortya, which means “re-vitalization,” is to establish nurseries and eventually re-plant orchards and groves destroyed by decades of war and drought. We know that 60-80% of trees in Afghanistan have been destroyed over the last thirty years. This affects not only people in Afghanistan, but people everywhere who share our global environment.

Five drought resistant, fast-growing species of trees are being nurtured, including the “magic” tree Moringa oleifera, whose leaves can be food for both animals and people, supporting lactation.

Samsortya is a community project brought about by cooperation between agricultural workers in Surkhrud, Afghanistan, organizers and fundraisers in the New England region, and contributors like you.

Samsortya is supported by the New Forests Project World Seed Program.

The Afghanistan Samsortya is a 501(c)3 organization.
