From childhood dreams to sustainable futures​
Kennedy Chinyere, director of Trees of Hope, was born and raised in rural Zimbabwe
and has witnessed the effect of over zealous deforestation
for farming, firewood, mining, timber and firing kilns.
At twelve years old Kennedy planted his first trees on the family land.
30 years later and those trees are the inspiration for the Trees of Hope project.
Trees of Hope was constituted in 2020 with a broadly representative committee to oversee work in the UK and Zimbabwe.
​
Our vision is for a thriving, diverse and balanced ecosystem
and for a return to living in partnership with the land.
