Get Laid Beds, in partnership with ITF, are raising awareness for deforestation in Kenya. By encouraging customers to Give Back by planting a tree in Kenya alongside their order. These trees will help combat climate change and provide livelihoods for struggling communities living in poverty.
Trees are a source of life, and amongst the many types, African families can both live off and sell, mangos, avocado, macadamia and Jackfruit are grown on these projects to help improve their quality of life.
The amazing work of the International Tree Foundation (ITF), has made this all possible. Established in 1924, Get Laid Beds has the privilege today to help in a small way towards their ambitious goal of planting 20,000,000 trees in Kenya's forests by 2024.
Buying a 'wooden' bed is just one way towards reducing your carbon footprint. A renewable material, that if we keep on planting sustainably, we can help reforest our world as it once was. We hope you will consider helping us drive awareness of such an important global issue.
