About Tree Aid

Treeaid_image

Tree Aid’s mission is to work with communities across Africa, harnessing the power of trees to restore ecosystems and support lasting livelihoods. They believe trees and people are deeply connected. More than just nature’s gift, trees are a lifeline — vital for survival, resilience and opportunity.

Tree Aid’s mission goes beyond just planting trees, as they work to create lasting change for both people and the planet. Since 1987, they’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 their work, they restore ecosystems, build sustainable livelihoods, and drive positive climate action. By working hand in hand with local communities, they prioritise their knowledge and needs to make an impact that lasts for generations.

What Tree Aid Is Doing

Natural resource management
They grow trees to bring land back to life. They support communities to restore soil fertility, protect ecosystems, and manage their land sustainably — building resilience in the face of a changing climate.

Forest governance
They grow trees for long-term change. They support communities and local authorities to create fair, locally led rules for how forests are used and protected, ensuring the people who depend on them have a real voice in their future.

Enterprise development
They grow trees that grow livelihoods. They support communities to turn tree products — like shea butter and soap — into strong, sustainable businesses. These incomes provide access to essentials like healthcare, education, and greater financial stability.

Food security and nutrition
They grow trees that nourish families year round. They support farming families with trees that provide reliable, nutritious fruit, nuts, and leaves — ensuring a stable supply of food, even when other crops fail.
