About Tree Aid
"Tree Aid works with people in the drylands of Africa to help lift themselves out of poverty and protect their environment from the effects of the climate crisis.
People here live in some of the toughest conditions on earth and trees are essential to their survival. Trees provide nutrition, generate income and help to create a healthy environment.
Led by local people, our projects make sure trees thrive so they can provide nutritious food and incomes today, and look after the environment for the future." - Tree Aid
