Better Globe
4 minute introduction about how we work ethically and sustainably with long-term goals

Our vision and our long-term goal is to reduce poverty and corruption in Africa. We are planting trees in the semi-desert in eastern Africa where nothing else grows. We create jobs, we help farmers to increase the returns on their land, we finance microloan banks, schools and water-related projects.

Better Globe Forestry is a forestry company and we are able to run our business thanks to the trees and donation packages that our customers buy. Every customer who owns trees can benefit from the profit. We need your help to address some of the world’s greatest challenges. Together we can make a real difference. See our 4 minute introduction video here to the right or below.

Better Globe
We are a Kenyan profit-driven forestry company that improves the environment

Since 2006, we have set up tree plantations and worked closely with farmers in the semi-desert in Kenya. By planting trees, we contribute to binding carbon dioxide, reducing the problems of erosion and, not least, preventing desertification in the south of the Sahara.

The trees that we plant are natural to the area and they are also the economic engine of our business – as for all forestry companies. Our unique advantage is that our trees are classified as hardwood fully comparable to mahogany trees and that they grow extremely fast in these dry areas. It is our trees that guarantee the economic long-term perspective for us, the farmers and you as a customer.

We need your help to finance the operations

Unlike most other forestry companies, we have chosen crowd-funding as a financing model for our operations. By having thousands of customers with monthly savings in trees, we can do good on site in Kenya and Uganda.

You as a customer can buy trees via donation packages or by buying single trees. You can make one-time purchases, but we recommend regular savings. It is best both for us and for you. One tree costs 17 € and the donation package costs 53 €.

Your money creates jobs and finances microloans, schools and water

When you buy trees and donation packages, you also contribute to the financing of small microloan banks, schools in connection with the areas where we have operations, and reduce the problematic lack of clean water.

Because we are a forestry company, we run neither schools nor microloan banks, but we finance them so that the locals can manage them together with other organizations. It is proven to be the best way to reduce poverty in the areas we operate.

We share the profit from the harvest and the felling of the trees

Forests have always had a great economic value, and it is still a fact to this day. When the trees have reached their production age, we can harvest, among other things, rye rubber (“gum arabica”), fruit and nuts. When we manage and sell the harvest, we share the profit with you.

However, the big money in a forestry business comes from the felling of the trees. When the tree is cut down after 20 years, you also get your share of the profit.

We need your help

Nobody can do everything, but together we can have a lot of impact. We need your help to be able to plant several million trees and help the people out of poverty. Even saving monthly in one single tree for 17 € makes a big difference.

Please read more on our website and get in touch if you have any questions. Thank you for your time and attention.

    I have bought trees from Better Globe since 2006. I have been down to the plantations and in 2008 I realised that it is “for real”. Since then I have bought thousands of trees for myself and my family. Today both me and my family receive a significant return each year.

    I am often fascinated by how thoughtful Better Globe’s business model is and I am deeply moved by the founders strong incentive to eradicate poverty in Africa. To give help to self-help, so that families get out of poverty and stay together, creates change for individuals, entire families and the society in several generations.

    What really grabbed my attention is Better Globe’s unique combination of helping people while making money in a sustainable way. I have always helped those who have not been so lucky, but here I can do it on a large scale and get returns at the same time. I bought my first donation package in 2008 and have had monthly savings since then.

    I visited the operations in Kenya and Uganda during a customer trip in the summer of 2017, and then I got to experience the huge difference makes on site, with the support from us customers. It is heartwarming to know that I contribute to providing these opportunities to some of the most vulnerable people on the planet.

    Thanks to Better Globe everyone is a winner. Children get to go to school, people get jobs, micro loans and an opportunity to get out of poverty, and I as an investor get a return on my money. Everybody profits! And the planet also feels good about the planted trees. I think that it is an amazing and sustainable business model, that I really want to recommend to everyone I know.

    I was looking for investments with a sustainable and ethical focus, as well as good returns, for a long time, and I found Better Globe a few years ago. When I learned more about Better Globe’s operations, how they think and how they operate their business, it set me on fire. I had finally found an investment opportunity that gave great returns and where many profit at the same time. An investment that really means something!

    Me and my family have bought trees since 2008. We think it’s amazing that our money can grow at the same time as we make a difference for so many people. I have been on site myself and seen the plantations and the schools with my own eyes, and today I can’t stop spreading the word to other people.

    I started buying donation packages via Better Globe in 2016, because I liked the idea to get return on my money at the same time as I was helping people to lead better lives. I went to Kenya in 2017 and when I was there I got to see that it really works.

    The best thing about Better Globe is the difference I can make with my money. It feels good to know that my money goes towards children’s education, that it helps people to get out of poverty, and that it restores nature’s balance in places where it’s really needed. That I also can have Better Globe as a part of my savings strategy makes it a win, win, win which is totally unbeatable.

    Before I heard about Better Globe, I had long been looking for a way to have a sustainable and positive impact on the people and the environment in Africa, while generating an ethical income for myself at the same time. I am so grateful that Better Globe gives me this opportunity and reading the reports about the difference that has already been made for the people and the environment really warms my heart, at the same time as the return on my investment generates a passive income that is of great value to my life.

    To me, Better Globe is exactly the type of savings format that I have been trying to find for a long time. I can make my savings do good for both people and the environment, while I also get a really good return on the money over a long period of time. I see Better Globe as a great opportunity for me to retire earlier.

    I became a customer of Better Globe in 2006. The idea of getting a financial return from trees that reduce extreme poverty in Africa while creating a greener future for us all was very appealing to me. And after travelling in 2011 to see their work with underprivileged farming communities in Kenya and children’s education in Uganda, I became convinced that Better Globe is one of the greenest and most socially responsible companies in the world. So for me, it is a privilege to continue to support this effort and follow the incredible results we create together. Getting involved with Better Globe is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Tree-planting reduces the climate threat

It is no news that trees contribute to reducing the climate threat. Already in the IPCC report from 2018, it was stated that approximately 1 billion hectares of additional forest would be required. This corresponds to about 2 billion football fields with forest, or an area the size of the USA. But according to a […]
