Miriam Smith - Eden Thriving

Eden Thriving’s mission is to cultivate thriving lives and flourishing landscapes, addressing the roots of poverty by restoring degraded land, providing faith-based environmental education for vulnerable children and youth, creating sustainable livelihoods for local families, ensuring access to clean water, and protecting the diversity of life that God, the Creator, has entrusted to our care.
Guided by the mandate to care for God’s creation and love our neighbors, Eden Thriving’s desire is to see every person and every place thriving in harmony with God’s design for life. By integrating faith, science, and practical action, we aim to glorify God by providing real-world solutions that restore both the land and the people who depend on it.
By applying faith-driven solutions such as regenerative agriculture, tree planting, and water conservation, we seek to honor God’s provision and equip families to withstand droughts, floods, and changing environmental conditions, helping vulnerable children truly experience the powerful presence of Jesus’ love.
