Niger, a large country in West Africa, is one of the world’s poorest countries. The climate is very hot and dry, and most of the country is desert. As a result, over two-thirds of the population are living in extreme poverty.
Since 2013, Tree Aid has been supporting communities to tackle poverty and improve the environment.

Tree Aid is working with communities across Africa
to grow trees and restore land in support of the Great
Green Wall movement. This African-led initiative envisages
an 8,000km mosaic of restored land across the Sahel
that will transform the lives of millions living on
the frontline of the climate crisis.
