Welcome to Greener Ethiopia

Greener Ethiopia is a non-profit, non-political local organization dedicated primarily to bringing trees back to Ethiopia.

A country that was once 38 per cent forested in recent years was reduced to less than 3 per cent with serious consequences for the health and wealth of its people.

In the last decade Greener Ethiopia and others have worked hard to reverse this critical situation and today 15 per cent of Ethiopia is once more forested.

This has been achieved by a well-researched programme firmly focused on encouraging and supporting sustainable economic growth in rural communities.

Tree planting, seed distribution, and specialist training are at the heart of Greener Ethiopia’s initiative.

Working in partnership with individual volunteers, local communities, farming co-operatives, women’s associations and authorities at both regional and national level, over the last eight years Greener Ethiopia has planted and distributed around 20 million trees.

It aims to achieve a further 100 million in the next five years.

There is no doubt that Greener Ethiopia is changing the rural face of Ethiopia for the better.

New trees and the outstanding commitment of the many communities who help to plant them, are an unstoppable force for good.

As Greener Ethiopia grows from strength to strength, it has been joined by Ethiopians from every ethnic group, religion and profession - all of whom have a stake in their country’s future.

A unique initiative is transforming the lives of thousands and playing an equally significant role in challenging Climate Change.

If the peoples of a developing country can change their future for the better, then surely so can everyone.
