Supporting the ITF’s mission to restore forests and expand tree cover in Kenya
International Tree Foundation is a charity working with local communities to plant trees and restore forests in places where, together, they can make the fastest, most lasting impact for communities and the future of our planet. Founded in Kenya in 1922 by Richard St. Barbe Baker and Chief Josiah Njonjo, ITF is the oldest international tree planting charity in the world.
But their work is about much more than just planting individual trees. It is about empowering communities to protect and benefit from their landscapes. It’s about stopping threatened species from going extinct and reversing biodiversity loss. It’s about gender justice and giving people the tools to transform their lives.
ITF recognises the multiple benefits of trees for both people and planet, planting trees to...
Plant diverse tree species that provide nutritious fruits, nuts, and medicinal resources. Helping communities thrive while protecting natural ecosystems.
Support community development. Empowering people with skills and opportunities for a better quality of life.
Replant trees and preserve natural habitats worldwide. A vital step in combating climate change and safeguarding biodiversity for future generations.
Utilise innovative methods to absorb carbon from the atmosphere. Helping reduce greenhouse gases and protect the planet’s delicate climate balance.
Ensure communities have reliable food and medicine supplies. Strengthening health, resilience, and overall quality of life.
Integrate trees into agricultural systems to boost crop yields, enhance soil health, and create long-term sustainability for farmers.
ITF's work in Africa promotes conservation and reforestation through two grant programmes. They currently work with partners in 8 countries to plant indigenous trees, improve livelihoods, ensure sustainable management of forests and help to combat climate change. Collaborating with ITF makes us proud to become part of the group of partners working towards combating climate change and improving the communities of Kenya.
Creating A Positive Impact On The Environment & Improving The Lives Of Many
Thousands of communities rely on forests for food, medicine, and firewood. Planting trees improves access to these essentials and protects ancient woodlands. Teaching people to grow trees and run nurseries creates income, while trees provide nuts, fruit, and other resources for families, with surplus sold for profit.
Trees also shelter wildlife, offering shade and food. ITF’s work restores habitats for animals and humans alike—from Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to half the world’s mountain gorillas, to Kenya’s Imenti forest, once ravaged by poaching. Thanks to dedicated efforts, Imenti is now a thriving elephant corridor where herds raise their young.
Many of the communities ITF works with plant fruit trees on their smallholdings or in their gardens. Mangoes are a prime example. In Uganda, their community partners MADLACC plant mangoes, avocados and jackfruit amongst their crops. Not only do these trees benefit the land, they also provide a source of nutrition for the entire household and a way to earn an income. This makes the trees very important in creating livelihoods and a prosperous community.
There are almost 40,000 known animal species populating the forests around the world. Despite the fact that rainforests account for less than 2% of the planet’s surface, they are inhabited by half of all its animal and plant species. The work we are doing is to support ITF’s efforts to return the habitats of the 30% of forest species that were lost through deforestation, is part of a larger initiative.
Help Support The ITF In Their Vital Mission Today
Through our continued awareness campaigns and long-standing partnership with the International Tree Foundation, we’re proud to have helped plant over 100,000 trees in Kenya since 2018. This milestone marks a powerful step in our ongoing commitment to support reforestation, tackle climate change, and empower local communities.
Across the world, but especially in the places where ITF works, natural disasters are intensifying. Countless species are threatened with extinction. And the health, safety and livelihoods of millions of people are at risk. It’s not too late. But we need to act now. We can harness the power of trees to protect our future. By planting more trees in places where they make the fastest impact, we can safeguard our planet for generations to come.
Your gift today will help to plant trees that provide food and income for today and help restore nature for tomorrow
