Why trees are such a powerful gift

Support livelihoods by providing food, shade and income.
Restore landscapes by improving soil health and filling rivers.
Create a home for wildlife by restoring habitats.
Strengthen resilience as communities adapt to a changing climate.
Create hope through practical, locally led action.
Together we can protect our planet, one tree at a time.
Where your trees are planted
Your donation plants trees in one of ITF’s projects in East Africa, where forests and livelihoods are under pressure and where trees can make a fast, lasting difference.
We work alongside farmers, schools and community groups to grow trees that are suited to local needs and conditions. These trees are planted, protected and valued by the people who depend on them.
This approach helps ensure trees survive, landscapes recover and benefits last.

We have three projects in East Africa which are specially dedicated to plant these trees for you. One in Kenya, one in Tanzania and one in Uganda. We work with local community groups to plant trees:
On farms, where they provide shade for crops and animals
In schools, where they help clear the air and teach young people about the environment
On community land, where they help stop landslides, regulate rainfall and provide a place to gather
In forests, where they provide a home for wildlife and restore degraded landscapes.
Your tree will be planted in one of these places, where it is most needed and where forests and livelihoods are under pressure and trees can make a fast, lasting difference.

Trees are planted and cared for by local people. We partner with community organisations who grow trees from seeds in women-led nurseries. These trees are then planted out into their forever home, where they are monitored and cared for to ensure they grow to maturity and thrive for generations.
This approach helps ensure trees survive and continue to benefit people and landscapes.
-
Your trees will be monitored and protected for at least three years, until they are fully rooted in their new environment. As your trees grow, they will provide food and shade, improve soil, help stop droughts and floods, clean the air and capture carbon. Over time, they help restore degraded land and strengthen community resilience to climate change.
This is a long-term gift, with benefits that continue to unfold.
