Tree Planting
Create new forest cover that provides access to nutritious varieties of food, shade, shelter, tools, natural medicines, products that can be sold at market and a healthier environment for thousands of families in Africa’s drylands. Planting trees is also a tangible way to reverse the effects of Climate Change and show your company’s engagement with environmental issues.

Cause Related Marketing
Everyone’s talking about Climate Change – show you care and give your customers a way to help, by supporting TREE AID. The effects of Climate Change are becoming a reality for us all, but worst affected are the rural African communities that TREE AID works with. Demonstrate your commitment to transforming lives using trees, differentiate your products, and make a real difference to African families working their way out of poverty and environmental chaos.

Adopt a Project
Direct your donations to support a specific project. Receive regular reports on the progress of the communities involved so you can experience the long-lasting impact your donations are making. Involve your stakeholders with the compelling case studies, real evidence of how your company is making a difference for families in Africa, and the environment.

Recycling
At no cost to your company you can provide a regular income for TREE AID by recycling old mobile phones and used printer cartridges. Simple to put in place, recycling is an effective way to augment your CSR by reducing your company's waste.

Payroll Giving
Show your employees you care, give them the opportunity to make discreet, efficient charitable donations before tax. Strengthen staff loyalty and change lives in Africa. The easy-to-implement Government scheme is a great way to show off your company’s commitment to making a real difference.
