Trees for Life: Planting Peace in Palestine

Zatoun co-founded “Trees for Life” with Canaan Fair Trade and partnered with the Palestine Fair Trade Association (PFTA) in 2006 to help farmers recover from the enormous destruction of olive trees to Israeli settlers and military including devastating losses to the illegal Annexation Wall. The goal is to provide individual farmers with 25 to 50 olive tree saplings to replant or to help start in another location.

The program aims to serve farmers in greatest need: farmers who have had trees destroyed or lost access to land; small farmers with not enough trees to sustain their family; farms headed by women who own land or have had husbands killed or imprisoned; young starter farmers who have inherited or acquired land.

Sponsorships of 3 olive trees for $20 are available in multiples.  Certificates issued.
