Our Charities
Charity is deeply ingrained in Nexlab’s core values. We also recognise that the science industry can be resource-intensive, and we believe it’s important to take responsibility for that impact. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Ripple Africa - an inspiring charity dedicated to creating a sustainable future for local communities through tree planting. Their work not only helps support communities across Africa, but also aligns with our commitment to offsetting carbon emissions wherever we can. It’s our way of making a positive difference - two birds, one stone.
Inspiring Communities to Achieve a Sustainable Future
"Ripple Africa’s overriding aim is to empower communities so they themselves can achieve a sustainable future – we strongly believe that the local people can be the solution to many of the challenges they face. We are not just another charity in Africa, everything Ripple Africa does is in response to the local communities’ needs. By enabling them, great things can happen. Ripple Africa’s belief is “Providing a hand UP and not a hand out,” and that philosophy has been central to the charity’s ideology for over two decades."
26.5 Million Trees Planted in Malawi Since 2004
"Our tree planting project is one of the largest and most successful tree planting projects in Malawi, providing a long-term solution to fighting deforestation in Africa caused by the destruction of indigenous forest. For every 10 trees we plant they absorb one tonne of carbon."
How it Works
"We identify farmers and community groups who are able to grow seedlings and can care for the trees. We then provide them with relevant equipment and training. We work in partnership with communities and government departments, and educate the local communities on the benefits of conservation."
