We do tree planting differently. Our farmer-led approach means that every tree seedling planted is #MoreThanATree. Every tree planted is an opportunity to increase income, strengthen climate resilience and build prosperity. 

Smallholder farmers already have the skills, incentives, and farmland to plant trees – they lack only the supplies and specialized training to succeed. That’s why since 2019 we’ve been on a mission to equip the smallholder farmers we work with to plant 1 billion trees on farms across sub-Saharan Africa by 2030. In early 2024 we hit an incredible milestone on the road to 1 billion trees when Kenyan farmer Esther Wangari Wanjira planted the 250 millionth tree, but we still have more to do!

“When I make money from my trees and my avocados it helps me to pay the children's school fees. It also helps me to run my business and it helps me in terms of feeding my family as well. ”
