TREE AID work with some of the poorest villages in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana & Mali where 90% of the people depend on trees for basic survival needs. TREE AID has raised more than £5.2m since it was established in 1987, directly benefiting more than 300,000 villagers, its patrons include actress Zoë Wanamaker CBE. ECOFURN work in partnership with TREE AID, through fundraising projects & by donating a percentage of their profit to the cause.   TREE AID CHARITY TREE AID was established as a charity in 1987 by a group of foresters in response to the famine in Africa, brought to public attention by Band Aid and Live Aid. They wanted to provide a long term solution once the emergency relief efforts ended. They believed that trees could significantly reduce the vulnerability of communties in rural Africa's drylands to drought and famine in the future. The current strategy expands on the original concept, focusing on forest management and income, food and medicines from trees. TREE AID's vision is to see thriving and self-reliant communities in Africa's drylands. TREE AID's mission is to alleviate poverty sustainably, while improving the environment. Their major focus has been on supporting 164 Village Tree Enterprise groups in identifying products with which they can develop viable businesses. Working with the Food and Agricultural Organisation, we have helped them to produce business plans for these. This gives much greater purpose to the forestry work, in particular planting and protecting trees. It also means much greater impact in terms of long -term poverty alleviation for the villagers they support
