Over the past 40+ years, we’ve planted over 80 million trees, one at a time through Community Designed Restoration. This movement of tree growing is proven effective for long-term ecosystem restoration, benefitting people and planet.
“At a time when the impacts of climate change are making headlines, Plant With Purpose is on the ground with farming communities on the front lines, complementing their existing resources to foster resilience.”

Why join the Community Designed Restoration movement?
For people & planet
As a key part of a holistic approach to sustainable development, growing trees helps restore ecosystems and break the cycle of poverty for generations to come.
Locally led
The people who live in these communities lead the way. They design their own restoration plans, plant trees, and care for them—ensuring that the benefits stay local and last long.
Protect communities
Trees are natural protectors. They safeguard precious water sources, prevent erosion that threatens roads and farmland, and shield communities from climate impacts.
Together we can
The climate crisis is massive—but the movement to stop it is even bigger. Across thousands of villages, communities are fighting back with your support, restoring hope and healing the land.
Reverse poverty
By planting trees alongside crops, farmers boost yields, protect their land, and grow their income—especially vital since 85% of people living in poverty depend on agriculture.
Honor the Creator
Caring for creation is an act of worship. When we plant trees and restore the Earth, we honor God and show love to our global neighbors.
"I've seen hundreds of development projects in 30+ countries, but none of them are as effective as Plant With Purpose, whose whole-community approach results in good forestry practices that bring lasting change."
Terry T., Development Expert
