Trees Around The World
In 2006, the Mayor of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia was inspired by our tree-planting efforts in London, and invited us to establish a Community Fruit Tree Planting project in his city. Since then, we’ve planted over 300,000 trees in 17 cities in 10 countries – from Ica in Peru to Nairobi in Kenya and Pokhara in Nepal.
We've worked with local organisations and community groups to focus our tree planting projects on delivering long-term, practical solutions to green polluted city environments and provide local people with the skills and ability to secure sustainable livelihoods.
