Who Are New Growth?

New Growth is a new unique trust that wants to plant “ 10 million” fruit and nut trees to aid communities and poor farmers in impoverished countries that deserve to have a sustainable future from economic, climate and environmental degradation.

We want to help people form a new relationship with the landscape they live in and help them to take the steps to get out of the poverty trap that they find themselves in.  Fruit and nut trees will not just help them but also improve the health of their communities overall.

Our vision is that each tree planted will improve the lives of people one tree at a time, your support and understanding will make this happen.
