Our History
The Grow A Tree Foundation was established in 2017 with the initial goal of planting 5 million trees throughout Southern Africa. We recognized the significant impact that trees, particularly fruit trees, can have on rural communities in coping with the effects of climate change. Since its establishment, the Foundation has expanded its operations and now takes a comprehensive approach to climate change initiatives. We are proud to have supported numerous rural schools and communities through our award winning integrated climate-smart village model. This model encompasses
water security, sustainable household energy provision, sustainable
livelihoods, climate-smart infrastructure, and environmental education and awareness. We aim to raise awareness about the importance of responsibly managing and giving back to the environment for the benefit of future generations. Join us today and contribute to a sustainable future.
