Schools

Would your school like to raise money for TREE AID? It’s a great opportunity to learn about the countries we work in and the value of trees, while helping some of the poorest communities in the world. Children in rural areas of Africa are often unable to go to school due to lack of money to buy shoes, books and uniforms. When children can go to school, it is often only the boys who attend. Lack of education is one of the biggest barriers to TREE AID's work helps families use trees to earn money, so that their daughters and their sons can go to school.   

Tree Aid Schools Pack

Packed with infomation about how children use trees to improve their lives, our schools pack is a dynamic resource for teachers and pupils alike. Developed and tested by teachers, the pack includes case studies about children at school in rural West Africa, school assemblies and plays, and lots of fun ways to understand how important trees are to our environment. Valuable for citizenship teaching as well as geography, with opportunities for story telling and drawing, and lots of interesting facts to research, this pack will provide you with a series of lessons and assembly topics.
