Making a Difference

We are committed to planting 1 BILLION GiftTrees and lifting 1 MILLION people out of extreme Poverty

Across 8 Countries

Over 70 tree species

Supporting 12+ communities

Helping hundreds of farming families

About GiftTrees

GiftTrees was formed to provide the poorest communities in the developing world with the opportunity to remove their dependence on unsustainable aid.

Through the provision of education, infrastructure, and practical resources, we plant high-value fruit trees, creating a sustainable environment for future generations

How Does It Help The Environment?

Replenishes soil

Soil fertility can be improved through the constant process of pruning, mulching and manure, creating more fertile land.


Resilience to rainfall

Agrofarming can help provide resilience to rainfall variability, including drought and flooding. It does this by transforming dryland into a sponge that can absorb and channel rainwater into the ground during heavy rain events and release green water during months of drought.


Atmospheric carbon dioxide

Trees are a natural way to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide. Tree planting is key to reversing the impact of industrial farming and each individuals carbon footprint.


BOOK A MEETING
What are GiftTrees?

When your diner enjoys a meal at your restaurant, they have the opportunity to purchase their own life-changing GiftTree at the end of their meal. Not only will their GiftTree offset the impact of their meal, but it will also help some of the poorest communities on the planet.

Agrofarming

What is Agrofarming?

Agrofarming is a sustainable agricultural process that allows communities to create long lasting eco-systems that allow them to develop the basic opportunities we often take for granted. Specially trained technicians work in developing countries, helping communities and farmers understand forest garden design, composting, nursery development, perma-gardening and out planting techniques. These rural communities are then supplied with the trees needed to create sustainable eco-systems. They are then provided with ongoing support to ensure they continue to develop their skills and create permanent change.

Why do we need Agroforestry?

This clearing of trees can have a hugely negative impact on the biodiversity of a region. It can create soil erosion, water pollution and an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide.


Agroforestry helps reverse the problems caused by these activities and provides for those who are most vulnerable, living in rural areas throughout developing countries.


Often these communities are some of the poorest in the world. These people are missing the basic rights we all take for granted. Food for their children, income opportunities & health care.



How Does GiftTrees 
Help People?



Sustainable Food & Living

GiftTrees empower farming communities to grow their own food sustainably. Carefully selected tree species support agroforestry systems that: 

  • Produce nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, and staple crops 
  • Offer natural fodder for livestock through low-hanging leaves and foraging zones 
  • Provide renewable wood for clean cooking fuel and local construction 

Healthier Communities

Access to diverse, organic food grown alongside GiftTrees leads to better nutrition and reduced rates of malnutrition, disease, and illnesses amongst families and communities. 


Trees also provide shade, cleaner air, and cooler microclimates and therefore improve overall public health and protection for generations.



Job Creation 

Every tree planted creates meaningful and sustainable employment. From seedling nurseries to planting, maintenance, harvesting, and product sales, GiftTrees projects generate dignified jobs and long-term economic opportunity in rural areas.



Improvement to Enconomy

Agroforestry farming creates surplus produce from fruit trees that can be sold or traded in local markets, generating income for families to access essentials like healthcare, clothing, transport, and mobile connectivity, building financial resilience and economic independence from the ground up.

Access to Education

With stable food supplies and new income streams, parents can afford to send their children to school. Education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty. GiftTrees helps communities access education and training opportunities by turning environmental restoration into a tool for lasting social impact in deserving communities.
