Tree Aid works with communities in the drylands of Africa. Led by local people, we take a holistic approach to tackling poverty and the effects of the climate crisis by growing trees, improving incomes, and restoring and protecting land.
Our projects make sure trees thrive so they can provide food and incomes today and protect the environment for tomorrow.
