What do you give the person who has everything?

TIST Christmas Trees!

Give the gift of a tree, for only $1!

Over 7 million trees are alive today, thanks to more than 45,000 TIST subsistence farmers in Africa and India.

Plant as many trees in Africa and India as you like for just $1 each. Trees are wonderful for:

  • Birthdays
  • Anniversaries
  • Holidays
  • Earth Day
  • Memorials
  • Housewarmings

Trees are the perfect gift! :) And more trees mean a better environment and a better life for people in developing countries.

Trees reduce the effects of climate change and that means a better environment for us all. That’s why The International Small Group and Tree Planting Program (TIST) was established in 1999.

For just $1 per tree, you can give family and friends on your shopping list a unique gift that truly keeps on giving: live trees planted in their names in Africa or India!

The local environments in areas with the TIST Program are improving as the trees sequester carbon, providing more fertile soil and encouraging rainfall.

Just tell us how many trees you want to give and in whose names. We’ll send a certificate and explanation of the gift.

It couldn’t be easier to help. And it couldn’t be more worthwhile.

Our Mission

I4EI Homepage

I4EI benefits people at the base of the world economic pyramid through reforestation and other projects that follow accepted sustainable development principles, with a preference toward faith-based initiatives.

Today I4EI supports over 7000 Small Groups of subsistence farmers in The International Small Group and Tree Planting Program (TIST). The men and women in TIST Small Groups are starting nurseries, planting trees and adopting improved agriculture practices that yield a larger harvest. They receive training on HIV/AIDS, malaria, nutrition and construction of fuel-efficient cooking stoves that protect women and children from breathing harmful smoke. Over 6 million trees are alive today in previously deforested areas of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and India as a result of the efforts and ingenuity of over 40,000 TIST Small Group members.
