About Us
Established in 2018, New Growth empowers Asian communities through sustainable development initiatives, modernising farming, conserving the environment, and fostering economic opportunities. Programs like fruit & nut tree support and community forestry restoration tackle food insecurity and environmental degradation. We collaborate with local communities, organisations, and corporations for a more equitable future.
Ireland has faced significant agricultural challenges, including the devastating famine of 1845, which resulted in the loss of one million lives and forced two million more to emigrate. Since the 1940s, Ireland’s agriculture has modernised and become more mechanised, contributing to the country’s prosperity and growth. Today, agriculture accounts for 7% of the economy and has positioned Ireland as one of the most technologically advanced nations globally. We want to help to leverage modern farming practices to enhance and support the local family based agriculture.
Our project began in Nepal’s remote area of Simthali in 2018. Since then, our tree and welfare initiatives, including the safe stove program, micro loan project, and local micro forest enterprises, have grown communities. We’ve learned that trees can change lives one at a time. Our mission is to break the cycle of poverty by modernizing farming, introducing fruit and nut trees, protecting local forests, and providing economic training. We aim to empower communities for a sustainable future, fully aware of the urgency of climate change.

It also maintains expertise within communities, enabling them to continue impacting their regions effectively.
