A Simple Solution to Poverty & the Climate Crisis

Get involved with our amazing online communities:

Have you heard of our simple solution that tackles poverty & the effects of the climate crisis?
The solution? Growing trees!
Trees help land to stay fertile so people can grow food.
Trees protect our planet, absorbing carbon dioxide - a cause of the climate crisis.
Every year, Tree Aid grows millions of trees, but we don’t just plant and walk away.
We make sure local people have the training and tools to make each tree thrive.

HOW WE WORK
Our work is led by local people with local knowledge and expertise. We equip people with the tools and skills they need to grow trees, protect their land, and start viable businesses. This provides food and an income, tackling poverty today. It also pushes for long-term change, improving the environment for tomorrow.

We learn what works and share it – locally, nationally, and internationally. Together with local communities, we influence policy and push for change that protects trees, people, and our planet. Every tree we grow or protect is helping to challenge the effects of the climate crisis and tackle hunger and poverty.

RESTORING THE ENVIRONMENT
We grow trees to protect the environment. We support people to use trees to improve the fertility of the soil and sustainably manage land in a way that helps them deal with the effects of the climate crisis.

PROTECTING FORESTS & LAND
We grow trees for long-term change. We campaign for forests to be managed by the people who depend on them. We work with communities and local government so they can agree rules for using forests and their resources.

BUILDING SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSES
We grow trees which grow businesses. We support communities to make and sell tree products, like shea butter and soap. The income they make from their businesses pays for essential healthcare and education.

GROWING NUTRITIOUS FOOD
We grow trees for healthy food, all year round. Trees provide nutritious fruit, nuts and leaves, giving people stable supplies of food even when other crops fail.

Yes, this is the kind of hands-on work the world needs! Trees are the solutions to so many problems and investing in the correct types and mixes of tree species can change desert into rainforest and help bring back so many species we are about to lose. You all are doing great work! Keep it up!!!! Much love from wales.
