Monthly Tree Donations Make an Impact

Even with a small budget, you, and even your company, can help Food & Trees for Africa (FTFA) further our cause of planting trees at schools throughout South Africa.

FTFA have many sponsors who sponsor trees monthly to the Trees For All programme. These tree donations are accumulated and matched with beneficiaries (mainly primary schools) on our waiting list who have applied for fruit and shade trees.

We distribute the trees and work with the schools to ensure they are planted and cared for. The schools then send through thank you letters and pictures of the trees. As a result, sponsors are able to see the impact of their donations.

Revolution Print donates fifteen trees a month. These are then matched with beneficiaries on our applications database. In November 2018, Lowe Primary School received fruit and shade trees through the support of Revolution Print. The school was so excited to get the trees in the ground that the teachers made a lesson about planting activities. They sent these photographs along with a big and very grateful thank you the very same day.
