TREE AID - About us
TREE AID was established as a charity in 1987 by a group of foresters in response to the famine in Africa, brought to public attention by Band Aid and Live Aid. They wanted to provide a long term solution once the emergency relief efforts ended.
They believed that trees could significantly reduce the vulnerability of communties in rural Africa's drylands to drought and famine in the future.
Their current strategy expands on the original concept, focusing on forest management and income, food and medicines from trees.
Our Work
TREE AID's vision is to see thriving and self-reliant communities in Africa's drylands. TREE AID's mission is to alleviate poverty sustainably, while improving the environment.
Their major focus has been on supporting 164 Village Tree Enterprise groups in identifying products with which they can develop viable businesses. Working with the Food and Agricultural Organisation, TREE AID have helped villagers to produce business plans.
This gives much greater purpose to their forestry work, in particular planting and protecting trees. It also means much greater impact in terms of long -term poverty alleviation for the villagers they support.
