Planting Fruit Trees in Africa
For each basket or box you receive, we plant 1 fruit tree in Africa! From February 2008 onwards, Fruitful Office has committed to planting 1 fruit tree for every fruit basket or box we deliver to our clients! Together with Ripple Africa, a charity working with 75 village communities in Malawi, we will be planting pawpaw and guava trees in fruit tree nurseries. We are excited about this project because:
- More trees planted = less carbon dioxide in the air. This programme helps to tackle the issue of deforestation in Africa and the resulting impact on global warming
- It provides the means and know-how to develop small businesses in poor, rural communities in Malawi. The trees and their fruit will be sold to local individuals and small semi-commercial growers/traders
