TREE is proud to introduce Education Tree, an ambitious new initiative that combines environmental action with youth empowerment. Inspired by the Graduation Legacy for the Environment Act in the Philippines, our vision is to embed climate responsibility into the educational journey of every child in Bangladesh.
The idea is simple yet transformative: every student will plant one tree each year, and by the time they complete their SSC, they will have planted ten trees. Through this model, we aim to instill environmental awareness and action as core values from an early age.
In 2024, we are moving beyond concept testing and launching the pilot phase of Education Tree in collaboration with 100–200 schools across Bangladesh. This phase will be supported by rigorous research to understand what works best, how schools and communities respond, and how to ensure long-term impact.
Looking ahead, 2025 marks our scale-up year, where we aim to expand the initiative to more schools and communities, turning this simple idea into a national movement.
Education Tree is more than a tree-planting campaign—it’s an investment in a future where young people lead the way in protecting the planet. By connecting climate education with hands-on action, we’re preparing students not only to learn about change, but to be the change.
If you’re interested in joining this journey—whether as a partner, educator, supporter, or volunteer—we would love to hear from you. Together, let’s nurture a greener, wiser, and more resilient generation.
