About us
TREE AID helps people in the drylands of Africa to lift themselves out of poverty and protect their environment. People here live in some of the toughest conditions on earth and trees are essential to their survival. Trees provide nutrition, generate income and help to create a healthy environment.
Our holistic approach is internationally recognised, providing ethical, sustainable and effective support to the land and people most affected by the effects of climate change.
Since being founded in 1987, with communities from across the drylands of Africa, we have;
🌳 Worked with over 1.3 million people to help lift them out of poverty.
🌳 Planted more than 27 million trees (and regenerated many more).
🌳 Improved access and rights for communities to trees.
🌳 Influenced national and international policy.
Tree Aid is a leading expert dedicated to delivering the Great Green Wall, an African-led international effort, to grow an 8,000km mosaic of trees across the drylands of Africa. The Great Green Wall is one of the most urgent movements of our time. The trees being grown are increasing biodiversity, restoring and protecting land, growing nutritious food, and creating green jobs for the millions of people living along its path. Every tree grown by Tree Aid is a part of the Great Green Wall, of which Tree Aid grows 1 tree every 19 seconds.
