Trees For The Future
Trees for the Future is improving the livelihoods of impoverished farmers by revitalizing degraded lands. Since 1989, with our experience in planting over 127 million trees all over the world, we have demonstrated the transformative power of trees in helping people break out of the poverty trap while also addressing the global environment. Today, our work in East and West Africa is helping to build a world where people can leave a legacy of opportunity through sustainable practices and productive lands for future generations.
Why Trees
Your contribution helps families to help themselves. Through planting trees we create educational opportunities for children, empower women and build strong communities. Planting trees helps increase the income of poor farmers and provides permanent and seasonal employment. Planting trees reverses environmental degradation, restores biodiversity and removes megatons and greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
Forest Garden Program
The Forest Garden Program is a sustainable agriculture practice. The Forest Garden Program is a simple, replicable and scalable approach with proven success. By planting specific types of trees and crops in a systematic manner over a four year period, families can change their lives forever. Forest Gardens provide families with sustainable food sources, livestock feed, products to sell, fuel wood and up to a 500% increase in their annual income.
Current Projects
Trees For The Future currently has 14 projects underway in five countries in Sub Saharan Africa. Our focus is on the implementation of Forest Garden Programs in Cameroon, Kenya, Senegal, Uganda and Tanzania, as these are areas where we are having the biggest impact and seeing amazing results.
