Trees Against Poverty

Our vision is to create a sustainable future for the environment and the underprivileged people 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. Tree sponsors would receive location coordinates of the planted tree and receive a video of the tree getting planted. Furthermore, regular pictures of planted trees will be sent every 6 months to the sponsors by the beneficiary, until the tree is 2 years old. Also, information about the impact of the donation on beneficiaries’ families will be reported to sponsors. 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 well-being 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.
