Olive Tree Planting

A symbol of joy, peace and happiness, olive trees provide us more than simply food and shade but an entire livelihood.

HOW OLIVE TREES PROVIDE HOPE AND SUSTENANCE FOR GAZA'S PEOPLE

It should come as no surprise, then, that planting trees is considered to be a highly beneficial act of charity in Islam.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) 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)

UK Islamic Mission’s olive tree planting project in Gaza has helped and continues to help, hundreds of farmers with thousands of tree plantings. These farmers are dependent on olive trees to provide for their families.

Your kind donations make the difference between hundreds of farmers in Gaza earning a living and simply having nothing to show for their efforts. An olive tree donation is one of the kindest gifts that you can hope to give because it represents life.

It is no secret that life in Gaza is far from simple, with small luxuries that we take for granted beyond the reach of the people of Gaza, especially Palestinian farmers who operate in less than ideal conditions. This is why UK Islamic Mission’s work is so important and why one of the great charity gifts is the olive tree.

Please help UK Islamic Mission to continue this work

UK Islamic Mission works in numerous countries around the world, helping those who are most in need. Without the work of our fantastic volunteers, hundreds and thousands of innocent lives would be much poorer than they are today. We are proud to offer solace to all, from the young to the old, the weak and the deprived.

Through our olive tree charity appeal, you can give a gift that is so much more than just a simple tree but will also give farmers a means to make a living. A sustainable livelihood from olive trees not only provides for the families of the farmers who benefit directly from the plants we give, but the olives and oil produced also nourish the health of the general Gaza people.

To help both the farmers and the rest of the people of Gaza, please consider giving to UK Islamic Mission today in support of our olive tree charity appeal. Your gift has the potential to make a great difference.
