Baobabs can live for centuries, storing water in their swollen trunks and throwing shade like a natural shelter. People use almost everything: leaves for meals, seeds for oil, bark for fibre, and fruit that’s naturally dry and packed with goodness. It’s one tree that feeds, helps and holds communities together.

When communities protect baobabs and harvest responsibly, the benefits stack up: more food, more income, and land that copes better with heat and drought. In Tree Aid projects, tree products like baobab are helping families build real resilience – because a healthy landscape is a safer future.
