GiftTrees
What We Do
GiftTrees helps to create sustainable and productive communities throughout the developing world, by financing the teaching and empowering of rural groups to grow sustainable, renewable forests for agriculture and food, water collection and filtration and animal habitat. This is achieved through the provision of education and teams of dedicated individuals in the field who train, support and facilitate hope for members of communities to build better lives for themselves.
Why plant trees? Because they change lives. They provide food and forage for animals. They increase agricultural yields, improve water infiltration and aquifer recharge, and protect soils from wind and water erosion.
Where We Do It
GiftTrees have planted trees and provided a sustainable lifestyle to communities in Africa, the Americas and Asia.
During 2017, GiftTrees focused on a large project in the Usambara Mountains of Tanzania, one of Africa’s poorest countries, suffering from widespread deforestation and associated poverty, GiftTrees have planted ¼ Million trees.
These trees will not only provide employment and a sustainable way of life to the communities there but will also absorb 6250 metric tonnes of harmful co2 greenhouse gas each year.
Why We Do It
Having been head-hunted to work in Durban in South Africa, GiftTrees‘s founder Marvin Baker witnessed first hand the poverty suffered by communities who by the lottery of birth had been born into a life less blessed than his.
He returned to the UK to dedicate his life to ending poverty and his investigations lead to the realisation that what he had witnessed was caused by deforestation and the use of mono-crop farming to satiate the West’s desire for food.
His goal was simple, reforest and re-educate these communities and provide them with sustainable agroforestry farms and tree nurseries that will be there for generations to come and thus, GiftTrees was born.
