Deforestation threatens us all. And it's happening at an alarming rate. But for tree dependent communities in East Africa, the situation is catastrophic. Temperatures are rising. Fertile land is vanishing. Natural disasters like floods and droughts are worsening. And the wellbeing, food and water security of thousands of communities are at risk. But it's not too late. We can harness the power of trees to grow a better future.

Trees are food-growers, shade-givers, crop-helpers and income-earners. They are drought-stoppers, flood-fighters, air-cleaners and planet-coolers. So we’re training small community-based organisations to plant trees where they make the fastest, most lasting difference. Trees that will restore their local landscape and prevent future catastrophes, while also providing food and income for vital things like healthcare and education.
