Burkina Faso is a country in the centre of West Africa. Most people living here depend on the land to grow food and make money. But land is rapidly losing its fertility and trees are being cut down. As a result, over one-third of the population are living in extreme poverty.
That’s why Tree Aid has been working with communities across the country since 1994.
Throughout 2023 and 2024, we've seen really encouraging impacts from across all of our projects in Burkina Faso. We joined forces with 514 new enterprise groups, supported 1,601,708 people, grew 1,266,654 trees, and restored 398 hectares of land.
