As AIESEC Life GROWS, so does the Shosholoza Forest in Colombia
The AIESEC Life Study Tour is heading to Colombia, and we can’t wait to explore the breathtaking landscapes. While immersing ourselves in the beauty of this incredible country, we’re also taking the opportunity to give back to the environment. What better way to do so than by supporting PlanT, a reforestation initiative founded by AIESECer Gabriela Alvarez?
Gabriela’s dedication to entrepreneurship, economic development, and rural prosperity has inspired this impactful project, and we’re excited to continue alumni support and be part of her mission to make a difference.
About PlanT
PlanT is committed to combating global warming by planting trees for ecological restoration, watershed protection, and carbon footprint offsetting. It empowers smallholder families through sustainable practices and income diversification, offering economic benefits for their efforts to restore and preserve nature.
AIESEC Life’s Contribution
In 2019, AIESEC Life proudly established the Shosholoza Forest in Colombia, located in Hacienda La Tentación and Hacienda El Bosque de la Vida. With 244 trees planted, our forest has already captured 31 tons of CO2 (from 2020 to January 2025), making a lasting impact on the planet.
Your Impact
For just $10.50, you can plant 3 trees—enough to offset the carbon emissions from a round trip like ours per person (includes international flights, accommodation, and onsite transportation). Every tree planted promotes biodiversity, protects river basins, and supports regional economic development.
Though we won’t visit the Shosholoza Forest during this trip, we are excited to support its growth. We hope you’ll join us in making a difference. Every contribution counts!
Donate today and help us grow the Shosholoza Forest. Let’s leave a legacy for both the planet and our AIESEC community
