A single olive tree might not seem like much to us, but for people in Palestine, the olive tree is a beautiful symbol of hope and peace. They represent Palestines rich history and stand, rooted as a reminder of the peoples attachment to their land.
An olive tree is an incredible source of income, a reliable crop and a beautiful reminder of Palestinian resilience. Olive trees provide thousands of Palestinian families with a reliable source of income and contribute to around 14% of the entire Palestinian economy.
However, in the last 40 years, over 2 million trees have been destroyed due to the ongoing conflict, leading many families to a life of poverty.
The aim of our Palestine Olive Tree Challenge is to help rebuild lives in the Jordan Valley, Jenin, Salfeet, Jerusalem, Hebron and Tulkarem through the planting and re-growth of olives trees. Olive trees can grow strong for hundreds of years, providing healthy crops and sustainable income for families year after year.
Donate now to help us plant 5,000 olive trees and lift Palestinians out of poverty for good!
