OUR IMPACT

A total of USD$836,000 has been paid to growers through our tree planting programme since 2019. This has contributed significantly to household revenue and food security in the rural communities we operate in.

Over 100 jobs created at rural community level through our restoration work.

We have provided climate-smart farming training to 300 rural households in Magunje and Deve. This training aims to increase food security and income. This is vital as one in three people worldwide struggle with moderate to severe food insecurity.

Fuel-efficient stoves are reducing the amount of smoke inhalation in rural kitchens and households. This reduces the risk of lung diseases among households that rely on wood fuel for cooking.

Incremental household revenue earned by tree growers is contributing to disposable income, thereby expanding nutritional options. The revenue is also contributing to health-related costs and increasing general financial well-being.

In 2024/25, over 50% of our employees and contracted growers are women.

Gender equality is a priority for My Trees and we aim to ensure at least 50% of our employees are women by 2025.

Women represented 64% of those trained in conservation agriculture and in the Community-Based Environmental Protection & Social

My Trees employs and contracts over 2,500 people in Zimbabwe.

89% of our scouts, 90% of counters, and 47% of growers are young people. The youth are important members of the rural communities that My Trees engage to build healthy and empowered rural communities.

The Community-Based Environmental Protection & Social Cohesion Curriculum Programme improves the participation for vulnerable groups within rural communities.

In the 2024/25 season, over 50% of employees and growers are women and 58% of growers were trained in conservation agriculture. 58% were also capacitated in the Community-Based Environmental Protection & Social Cohesion Curriculum Programme as workshop facilitators.

Our mission is to aid rural farmers and landowners in reducing the consumption of natural capital for the overall benefit of their communities and the environment.

A total of 120,000 fuel-efficient stoves were distributed and are currently in use by poor households. The stoves are significantly reducing the demand for wood for rural household cooking in operational areas.

There is a significant reduction of the impact of poaching in our conservation concessions due to wildlife protection and anti-poaching initiatives by My Trees.

Tree planting, conservation agriculture, environmental protection workshops, and advocating for sustainable waste management for rural smallholder farmers are improving land use practices and sustainable crop production methods.

We have planted over 1,500,000 indigenous trees in Zimbabwe to combat woodland loss and environmental degradation.

My Trees is protecting wildlife and biodiversity in four key wildlife areas in Zimbabwe.

There is ongoing educational support within rural communities to help mitigate against, and adapt to, the impacts of climate change.

Over 195,000 metres of nylon nets removed from Lake Kariba.

Over six tons of plastic and waste collected and removed from protection

Our work to protect and restore wildlife and woodlands, sustainably manage forests, halt further land degradation and promote and halt biodiversity loss are all crucial activities to improve life on the land across Zimbabwe.
