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.
Throughout 2021 and 2022, we've seen really encouraging impacts from across all of our projects in Burkina Faso. We saw a 161% rise in income for village tree enterprise members, planted 41, 780 seedlings on a single project, and brought 1,355 people together to work on local budgets for natural resource management.
