Olive trees for Palestine.
Plant an olive tree and provide prosperity.
We depend on trees to live. They give us food, water, oxygen, cleaner air to breathe and so much more. It should come as no surprise, then, that planting trees is a highly beneficial act of charity in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad, sallallāhu 'alayhi wa’sallam, said,
“There is no Muslim who plants a tree or sows seeds and then a bird, or a person, or an animal eats from it except that it is charity for him.” - Anas bin Malik
In Palestine, olive trees create a sustainable future.
It is no secret that life in Palestine is far from simple. Small luxuries that we take for granted are beyond the means of the local people, especially for Palestinian farmers who operate in less-than-ideal conditions.
Olive trees hold symbolic, agricultural, and economic meanings for Palestinian farmers. A symbol of joy, peace and happiness, olive trees provide us not only simple food and shade but an entire livelihood. In a nation where almost one-third or 1.6 million people face food insecurity and do not have access to “nutritious food,” essential crops, like olives, are vital for community survival.
