SME lender joins tree nursery program

“Nurturing a tree involves a lot of processes, It’s not as simple as everyone thinks”, said Marie, a volunteer from Esquire Financing Inc. (EFI).

EFI, a lending company focused on providing additional capital to growing small and medium enterprises (SMEs), once again partnered with Haribon Foundation where the volunteers participated in the organization’s native tree nursery and learning center, Buhay Punlaan in Brgy. Lumban, Laguna. They learned how seedlings were tended and nurtured until such time that they would be ready for tree planting activity. This involved soil potting, re-bagging, soil hardening, and weeding.
