Sales & Marketing Intern

About Green Intelligence

Green Intelligence is a social impact enterprise restoring degraded landscapes in Kenya and Nepal.

Together with local teams, communities and farmers, we restore land by planting smart, productive food forests – regenerating biodiversity while creating real economic opportunity for local communities.

Our impact so far

• 428 hectares of landscape restored
• 6,200 households supported
• 675 tonnes of CO2 sequestered

What makes us different?

We believe landscape restoration only creates real impact if it also restores people’s livelihoods. Through training and access to sustainable markets, we help communities in Kenya build food security and grow income. Through our live platform, partners can follow their trees, see who is caring for them, and watch the growth in real time – making impact transparent, personal and directly visible.
