Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso is a country in the centre of West Africa. Most people living here depend on the land to grow food and make money. But land is rapidly losing its fertility and trees are being cut down. As a result, over one-third of the population are living in extreme poverty.

That’s why Tree Aid has been working with communities across the country since 1994.

Our projects

Throughout 2022 and 2023, we've seen really encouraging impacts from across all of our projects in Burkina Faso. We joined forces with 100 enterprise groups, set up 97 nutrition gardens and trained 19,588 people in everything from harvesting techniques to making biscuits from tree products to sell and grow their income
