AIRLines, is the newsletter of AIR. It chronicles our history and spirit. All of the past issues of AIRLines are downloadable and/or viewable through an ADOBE PDF viewer.
Our supporters have spoken, and AIR has earned a spot on the 2012 Top-Rated List! Less than 1% of eligible nonprofits won a place on the 2012 Top-Rated List. Thanks to everyone who wrote accolades~
AIR’s professional technicians work simultaneously in several communities, visiting with them weekly over a five-year period. After five years, the group members proudly receive a “graduation certificate” for their success in sustainable farming and reforestation. Unlike other organizations that fail at hasty reforestation efforts, AIR has a model that works for the long term! In June, when we return with volunteers, those little trees will be big enough to transplant to the mountain slopes—we can’t wait!
Everything we do is funded by generous donors like you.

AIR's mission is to implement educational programs and agro-forestry methods in Central America in order to protect water sources, prevent mudslides, and provide more nutritious crops, while protecting the Earth. All paid staff for AIR are natives of Central America, trained in agro-forestry and dedicated to improving the lives of the rural poor. The US Headquarters for AIR is in Atlanta, GA, staffed by volunteers.
Since 1993, AIR has trained over 2,000 farmers, constructed over 750 fuel-efficient stoves, provided 18 high school scholarships to rural teenagers, established hundreds of tree nurseries and planted over 3.7 million trees!
