About

Plant With Purpose is a Christian nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of rural communities worldwide. Founded in 1984, it operates in eight countries across Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia. The organization focuses on addressing two major global challenges: poverty and environmental degradation. Its approach integrates environmental restoration, economic empowerment, and spiritual renewal to create sustainable change. By working closely with local communities, Plant With Purpose equips them with tools and training to restore their environments and improve their economic conditions. Plant With Purpose has planted over 50 million trees as part of its environmental restoration efforts. It uses the Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA) model to provide economic empowerment, allowing communities to build financial resilience. The organization partners with local churches to support spiritual growth and leadership development. Its programs are designed to be locally led, ensuring that solutions are tailored to the specific needs of each community. Through these holistic initiatives, Plant With Purpose aims to empower rural families, increase food security, and promote sustainable living practices.
