Healing Soil, Spirits & Species
Safara Lekki, located in Casamance, Senegal is a sanctuary focused on reforesting sacred lands and revitalizing ancestral plant wisdom. As a grassroots nonprofit, we cultivate a space where a permaculture of plants, animals, and community converge through ancient wisdom and present compassion.

Mission and Vision
Protect
Our Commitment
Our mission is to safeguard the biodiversity and cultural heritage of Casamance by reforesting degraded lands with native species and preserving the traditional wisdom of plant-based healing. We envision a world where wildlife, plants and humans coexist in harmony and respect.

Cultivating Change
We grow thriving ecosystems through permaculture, agroforestry, and medicinal plant cultivation. By blending ancestral practices with regenerative techniques, we create a living pharmacy and food forest — a model for land stewardship that nourishes soil, body, and spirit.
Empower
Encouraging Participation
We empower local and global communities through hands-on education, healing retreats, and knowledge exchange. By creating a space of belonging, reverence, and renewal, we honor the deep interconnection between inner and outer restoration.
