What We Do
Tree Aid harnesses the power of trees so both people and the planet can thrive. We create sustainable ways for communities to grow food, earn incomes and restore ecosystems.
We work hand in hand with people across Africa, guided by their knowledge, priorities, and vision for the future. We believe that local leadership and collaboration are at the heart of lasting change.
Together with communities, we’re building a future where land and life grow stronger together.
Restoring the environment
We grow trees to bring land back to life.
We support communities to restore soil fertility, protect ecosystems, and manage their land sustainably — building resilience in the face of a changing climate.
This is our natural resource management approach.
Protecting forests and land
We grow trees for long-term change.
We 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.
This is our forest governance approach.
Building sustainable businesses
We grow trees that grow livelihoods.
We 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.
This is our enterprise development approach.
Growing nutritious food
We grow trees that nourish families year-round.
We support farming families with trees that provide reliable, nutritious fruit, nuts, and leaves — ensuring a stable supply of food, even when other crops fail.
This is our food security and nutrition approach.
