Tree Aid
TREE AID is an international development organisation which focuses on unlocking the potential of trees to reduce poverty and protect the environment in Africa. It is a registered charity in the UK. TREE AID has offices in Bristol,UK, in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, in Segou, Mali and in Tamale, Ghana. It currently has programmes running in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali and Niger. ==History and philosophy== TREE AID was established in 1987 by a group of foresters in response to the famine in Africa brought to public attention by Band Aid and Live Aid. Its aim was to provide a long-term solution to the challenges of poverty and environmental decline once the emergency relief efforts ended. TREE AID’s founders – inspired by the Chipko and Greenbelt movement in India and Kenya respectively - believed that community forestry could ensure that people in rural Africa’s drylands were less vulnerable to drought and famine in future. Drawing on the ideas of thinkers and practitioners such as E F Schumacher and Robert Chambers, TREE AID’s work is informed by the notion that small scale development, appropriate to local culture and environment that puts poor people’s needs first, is essential to the success and sustainability of any intervention to alleviate poverty. This thinking still informs the charity's work today.
