Ghana
Ghana
Ghana is a country in West Africa, similar in size to the UK. In northern Ghana, where Tree Aid has been working since 1994, people’s daily lives and livelihoods are devastated by a drastic reduction in fertile land and the climate crisis. People are struggling to grow enough food and poverty is increasing. Around 80% of the people living in northern Ghana are living in poverty.
Our projects are working to change this.

"We’re working with Tree Aid towards our common goal – planting trees where the need is greatest. Together in Ghana, we are unlocking the potential of trees to restore the Daka river, benefiting people and planet. Thanks to Tree Aid, Ecosia searches are changing lives and livelihoods in Ghana."
Pieter van Midwoud, Chief Tree Planting Officer, Ecosia
Our projects
In the year 2024/25, we helped almost 4000 people to grow over 2.8 million trees across all our projects in Ghana. We also worked with 78 new village tree enterprise groups, supporting them to make and sell tree products.

“We have been on this project since the beginning and we are now in our third year. There’s so much we have learnt in that period - how to make compost, how to fence a garden, how to graft, how to plant trees and many other skills.”
