Trees for Life empowers people by demonstrating that in helping each other, we can unleash extraordinary power that impacts our lives. We do this by helping people plant fruit trees in developing countries. Each tree protects the environment and provides a low-cost, self-renewing source of food for a large number of people. Our activities include three elements: education, health and environment. Since our inception in 1984, more than 2.5 million people have participated in our programs and more than 30 million trees have been planted in developing countries.
