In 2023-24, your generosity helped us to grow over 2.5 million trees and support 1,701,380 people. The past year saw an 1,068% rise in income from non-timber forest products, and 785 new enterprise groups established to help entrepreneurs grow and sell sustainable tree products.

After three years, our She Grows project has come to an end. And we're thrilled to say it's good news!
This project achieved incredible success in its aim to empower over 1000 women in rural Mali, through growing sustainable food and incomes.
Our new 5-year strategy lays out a roadmap for us to progress towards achieving our wider 20-year vision; a thriving natural environment where deforestation and land degradation rates have been reversed. Together, we can build resilient communities, who have the tools and training needed to manage their landscapes and grow their businesses.
From 2017 to 2020, we worked with communities in Burkina Faso to grow food and incomes from forest products. The project had some incredible impacts for the people we worked with, including a 161% increase in average annual household income, a 42% decrease in chronic malnutrition in children under five years old, and over 9,900 hectares of degraded land restored and now under sustainable management.
After three years, our project in the Ségou region of Mali came to an end in July 2020. Thanks to our monitoring and evaluation work, this project provides us with some of the most in-depth data that we have ever had at Tree Aid. With thorough data collection and analysis done at both the start and end of the project, we are excited to share with you just some of the incredible results achieved.
