Fruit trees
Fruit trees
This card doesn’t just get you one poverty-busting fruit tree, it gets you plenty – delivered to a village where they’re needed most. These fruit trees, such as guava, papaya and coconut, can be harvested to raise funds for the community. Let’s see soap on a rope do that.
Your fruit trees will be delivered to a village where they’re needed most. Fruit trees, such as guava, papaya and coconut, can then be harvested to raise funds for the community. This project is managed by our partner organisation in South Africa, Ingwavuma Orphan Care. In South Africa, many families are affected by extreme poverty, as well as HIV and AIDS. Growing fruit trees helps empower people and is a sustainable way of developing the community. The planting of fruit trees also has the long term effect of reducing environmental degradation through the preservation of soil. And of course, they provide fruit to eat!
“The initiative of fruit tree growing not only promotes biodiversity, it also provides nutritious fruit that can be included in diets.” Mavis Nyakurimwa, Food Security and Livelihoods Program Coordinator, Oxfam Australia, South Africa.
