At Tree Aid, we believe trees and people are deeply connected. More than just nature’s gift, trees are a lifeline — vital for survival, resilience and opportunity.
Our mission goes beyond just planting trees, as we work to create lasting change for both people and the planet. Since 1987, we’ve partnered with communities across Africa, harnessing the power of trees to improve lives and advocate for those most affected by poverty and the climate crisis.
Through our work, we restore ecosystems, build sustainable livelihoods, and drive positive climate action. By working hand in hand with local communities, we prioritise their knowledge and needs to make an impact that lasts for generations.
