WHERE WE WORK

Trees for The Future is currently working with more than 3,000 peasant families in six countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The focus lies on implementing Forestgarden programs in Cameroon, Kenya, Senegal, Uganda and Tanzania, as these areas have the biggest impact and produce amazing results.

THE BOTTOM LINE

ENDING HUNGER

Our latest data indicates that the Forest Garden Approach ends hunger for most families after the first year. Only 13% of our project participants were food secure when they joined the program, and after just 12 months of planting Forest Gardens, 86% of our farmers are food secure.

ENDING POVERTY

Through the Forest Garden Approach, we are impacting the lives of their farmers and children, resulting in positive impacts for over 26,000 people so far. A total of 82% of our farmers have seen significant income increases and more than 92% now feeling capable to brace for any unforeseen circumstances the future may bring.

ENDING DEFORESTATION

By decreasing the use of destructive farming practices such as burning, clearing and plowing, Forest Gardens reduce deforestation by eliminating farmers' dependence on forests for food, timber, and many other non-timber forest products. The positive environmental impacts of a Forest Garden are endless.
