In 2018, we teamed up with local nonprofit CONAPAC to launch an innovative program to provide families living in rural Amazon river areas with fruit trees and training in their planting and care. Assistance with marketing efforts are also underway so that harvest will provide both nutrition and revenue for families whose income is often less than fifty U.S. dollars a month. The project will promote conservation efforts by planting more trees in areas that are vulnerable to deforestation.

The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation has joined forces with Casa Guatemala to plant fruit trees for vulnerable low-income children and their families along Rio Dulce. Casa Guatemala serves children from families of the surrounding Mayan villages who live in cases of extreme poverty and in areas where chronic malnutrition is among the highest in the world. Help us provide long-term, sustainable nourishment for kids' growing bodies and minds as well as protect this environmentally fragile region!

The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation will plant thousands of fruit trees and provide horticultural training in the severely deforested municipality of Mococa, Brazil to create a sustainable source of healthy food for families while reforesting the region. Trees will be planted at schools and community centers as well as distributed directly to families. Harvests will help provide quality, fresh nutrition to local families and the trees will fight climate change and provide habitat for wildlife.

Fruit Tree 101 is a program that will create thriving fruit tree orchards in schoolyards around the world so students have a source of improved nutrition and environmental education. The outdoor edible classrooms will not only help clean the air and soil on campus while providing a source of fresh, sustainable, healthy nutrition, but they also give teachers an excuse to hold class outside when it's time for science lessons!

We will repopulate Hawaii with native & tropical fruit trees in order to save the environment, feed families & students, and spread the best organic tree care & growing practices. With the launch of Na Piko, FTPF's new Hawaii headquarters, we will develop several thriving fruit tree nurseries as well as organic gardens, edible food forests, & a horticultural training & event center. We will also keep expanding our award-winning fruit tree distribution & orchard donation programs in the area.

Trees for Tribes supports Native American communities' efforts toward food sovereignty & food justice by planting fruit tree orchards that provide abundant harvests of nutritious fruit. Tribal members also build their skills, (re)learning important techniques on how to care for their orchards & preserve the harvests. Through this program, FTPF has planted dozens of orchards filled with hundreds of fruit trees & provided arboricultural training for tribal communities all across Turtle Island.

Keau'ohana Forest Reserve on the Big Island is the largest and most intact rainforest remaining below 1,000 feet in Hawai'i. FTPF is partnering with Hawai'i Environmental Restoration to protect and restore this unique ecosystem through the propagation and planting of native tree species such as the 'ohe. This precious forest is a natural treasure, and the last of its kind -- with your support, we can continue to plant native trees there for future generations to benefit from!

The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation is striving to bring 100,000 fruit trees to the people of El Salvador. Together with the community, local non-profits, and municipalities, we will bring fruitful trees & horticultural training to areas affected by deforestation, violence, & poverty. Trees will be planted at schools, farmer's cooperatives & community centers, bringing sustainable nutrition & income to struggling families & communities, and training to provide information on planting aftercare.

FTPF is working hard on the ground & in our partner nursery to provide fruit trees around Uganda in order to increase access to sustainable nutrition, provide income for families in poverty, & help clean the environment. We are distributing trees directly to households in low-income areas & holding educational workshops on how to care for trees to most benefit from the harvest. Our orchards are planted in schools, prisons, health clinics, & orphanages to promote Uganda's health & healing

The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation is excited to launch our first-ever orchard projects in the United Kingdom! FTPF will be working with British tree-planting groups to plant orchards in underserved neighborhoods, schools, and other publicly-accessible locations in England (with the hope to expand to the rest of the UK in the future). We will be focusing on urban orchards, turning under-used spaces into vibrant oases of greenery, community, activity, and, of course, fresh and nutritious fruit!
