Planting hope with a fruit tree
Many of our families struggle to put food on the table and often lack access to nutritious options. Your donation of a fruit tree can help change that. With a fruit-bearing tree, families can have a sustainable source of healthy food and an opportunity for income by selling any excess fruit.
A gift that keeps on giving
Breadfruit, mango, and avocado trees are a few fruit trees that can significantly make an impact. They provide food, offer shade, and help combat deforestation.
Fight food insecurity with a sustainable solution
A fruit tree is a local alternative to importing food from another country. It not only helps combat food insecurity in the immediate term but also contributes to the long-term development of the local economy. We believe finding affordable solutions to significantly change our families’ futures is essential.
