Meet With Us 
We’re planting 10,000 mangroves!
We’re working with Veritree in an ongoing effort to support reforestation and help restore the natural ecosystems our communities depend on.
We have pledged to plant 10,000 mangroves in Kenya over the following year as the first step in our commitment to the wellbeing of our planet.
Our progress so far:
Total Trees
5,000
Compares to planting 90 studio apartments full of trees.
Tonnes of CO2 To Be Sequestered
1,240
Compares to removing 270 cars from the road for one year.
Hectares Reforested
0.5
Provides 10 work days to local tree planters.
Our commitment
Working remotely isn't just great for flexibility, it's great for the planet too! At Atheris, we’re proud to be completely remote - in doing so, we strive to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible, in such ways as:
No daily commute
Fewer emissions from cars
No office space
Less energy consumption from heating, cooling, lighting, garbage disposal
Digital-first mindset
Minimal paper waste and sustainable operations
Healthier work habits
Home-cooked meals, rather than take out and single-use plastics
Remote work isn't just about where we work - it's about how we work, and we're proud to do it sustainably.
Why mangroves?
Coastal communities in Eastern Africa are dependent on the mangrove ecosystems for employment, livelihood, and nutrition. In recent decades, these coastal areas have been urbanised at unprecedented rates. Mangrove forests were converted into other land use. Coupled with lack of effective governance, mangroves were overexploited and over-harvested. The destruction of the mangrove forests also contributed to the loss of critical habitats for many organisms. Threatening the livelihoods of these impoverished communities, pushing them further into poverty.

With your support, we are restoring the mangrove forests. The goal of this project is to empower the impoverished coastal community to break the poverty cycle. In restoring the mangrove estuary, which is rich in biodiversity, this project will provide fishing grounds for local people. This helps to create additional income streams, including sustainable harvests from the mangrove forests. The restored forests will also help to stabilise coastlines. This will act as a vital line of defence to protect the land and the communities during tropical storms.

Thank you,
for restoring the planet with us.
