Tree Aid's work in 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 half of the people living in northern Ghana are living in poverty.

Our projects in Ghana are working to change this.

Our projects

In 2019/20, across all of our projects in Ghana, we helped almost 10,000 people to grow nearly 500,000 trees. We also worked with 138 new village tree enterprise groups, supporting them to make and sell tree products.
