Tree Aid
Tree Aid is a UK-registered international development non-governmental organisation (charity number 1135156) focused on addressing poverty and the effects of climate change in the drylands of Africa, particularly the Sahel region. Established in 1987, Tree Aid works in partnership with local communities to grow and protect trees, thereby improving incomes, restoring degraded land, and enhancing food and nutritional security. Its holistic approach integrates agroforestry, natural resource management, forest governance, and sustainable livelihoods to create long-term environmental and socioeconomic benefits[1][2][5].
The organisation's projects ensure that trees thrive to provide food, income, and environmental protection for today and future generations. By supporting communities with tools, training, and business literacy, Tree Aid promotes sustainable use of tree resources and advocates for local people's rights to forest access. The charity is also involved in knowledge sharing about tree species and conservation techniques aimed at restoring and protecting landscapes[2][5].
Tree Aid has launched various fundraising appeals to support its work. Notable campaigns include the "She Grows" appeal in 2019, which helped women in Mali develop small businesses processing shea butter and honey, with donations matched by the UK government. In 2021, the "Future Forest" appeal focused on protecting Ethiopia's Metema frankincense forest by training communities in sustainable harvesting practices to combat climate change effects. These campaigns have gained public backing from prominent figures such as Zoë Wanamaker, Joanna Lumley, and Chris Packham[1].
The organisation values diversity and inclusivity, recruiting staff based on ability and striving to foster a supportive work environment with competitive benefits and flexible working options. Tree Aid emphasizes teamwork to successfully deliver its strategic goals and impact in the Sahel drylands[4].
In summary, Tree Aid combines environmental stewardship with poverty alleviation by empowering communities in Africa's drylands to sustainably manage trees and natural resources, thereby addressing climate challenges and improving livelihoods[2][5].
