Planting Fruit Trees
Our mission revolves around planting fruit trees, which mitigate carbon emissions, eliminate hunger, and create job opportunities for economic stability.
We work with trusted nurserymen in various tropical countries. We help them learn to propagate trees like breadfruit. They and other partners distribute the trees we purchase to people who receive a voucher after filling out our Tree Request Form.
In some areas that do not have a supply of breadfruit trees, we work with tissue growers. We make sure there are people to get a permit, receive the trees, care for the trees upon arrival, and plant the trees in their final destination.
Anyone can apply for tree donations through our Tree Request Form. However, we want to ensure that the donated trees will be successfully maintained the donated trees. We evaluate each application and follow-up through email, telephone or WhatsApp. We may ask additional qualifying questions. In Jamaica and some other countries distribution is managed locally.
Our most commonly distributed tree is the breadfruit, but we have provided many other kinds of food-bearing trees, including mango, avocado, cashew, fig, guava, pomegranate and more. The choice depends on local growing conditions.
After donating trees, we train the farmers in long-term tree care and operating a small business. We also carefully monitor the trees to help ensure survival to fruiting maturity.
$15.00 covers the costs of providing a food-bearing tree that will feed a family for decades. Donate here if you can.
