Trees Against Poverty is a not for profit social enterprise that enables individuals and companies to plant trees remotely and follow their growth online. The trees are planted for and by disadvantaged groups, refugees, or internally displaced people.
Our Mission
To create a sustainable future for the environment and the underprivileged people
Our Solution
We fight poverty: Planting trees will provide a source of income to vulnerable families who would otherwise be struggling to get their basic daily food or take their children to school. That ripple effect can shape the future for a family or an entire community. Fighting poverty and empowering displaced people through: 1) Creating work opportunities. 2) Creating a source of food. 3) Selling crops to generate income. 4) Women’s economic empowerment and inclusive growth. 5) Restoring cultural identity. 6) Having planting as a therapeutic tool in exile and mental wellbeing improvement.
Creating a greener future through: 1) Reforesting degraded landscapes, offsetting CO2 and fighting climate change. 2) Creating green spaces that produce beauty and improve the setting where refugees live. 3) Restore habitats for animals and fight biodiversity decline.
What we are offering you is the opportunity to purchase as many trees as necessary to balance the equation and support a family in need. Internally Displaced Persons are going to plant and protect those trees on your behalf contributing towards a more sustainable future for everybody.
Our growth plan towards our vision:
The project will fight poverty and support the environment by planting 62,000 trees by 2025. These trees will reforest 62 hectares, and they will create a source of income to 738 war-affected families (75% of those families are women and children). These families will be given the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty and build a better future for themselves and for the environment of their local community.
