In the year 2023/24, we helped almost 30,000 people to grow nearly 800,000 trees across all our projects in Ghana. We also worked with 78 new village tree enterprise groups, supporting them to make and sell tree products.

At Tree Aid, we do much more than simply planting trees. We use a combination of trees, tools and training, to ensure that our projects have a truly sustainable and long-lasting impact.
Supporting communities, and women in particular, to earn a sustainable income is a key part of our work in Ghana. It is known as our Enterprise Development Approach.
Desertification is a major issue impacting the communities we work with in Ghana. The land is severely degraded, and between 1990 and 2020, Ghana lost nearly 2million ha of forest. 35% of the land here is under threat of desertification.
