A movement growing across Africa

Plant a tree.
Feed a community.
Fight hunger.

African Fruit Fight turns small sponsorships into fruit trees that feed families for decades — not just a season.

How it works

Your sponsorship, in the ground

Every rand is tracked from nursery to harvest. No vague promises — a real tree, in real soil, kept alive.

01

You sponsor

Fund one tree, a grove, or give monthly. We source healthy saplings in bulk so your money goes further.

02

We plant

Our teams plant with the community at schools, clinics and shared spaces — the people who'll harvest it.

03

We keep it alive

Watering, guards and check-ins through the critical first months. If a tree fails, we replant it. That's the promise.

Why fruit trees, not just any trees

Most planting projects stop at carbon. We go further — a fruit tree fights the food crisis directly, every season, for a generation.

  • Feeds families with free, fresh fruit year after year
  • Creates income from surplus harvest at local markets
  • Cools, shades and restores the soil it grows in
  • Roots a community around something they own together
Total transparency

Where your R350 goes

No mystery, no fine print. Here's exactly how a single tree sponsorship breaks down — right down to what keeps the project alive and growing.

  • The sapling itselfR80
  • Planting & labourR30
  • Guard, mulch & compostR35
  • Transport to the siteR24
  • First months of careR45
  • Replacement guaranteeR33
  • Card processing (PayFast)R14
  • Operations & profitR89

About that last line. The R89 runs the website, monitors every tree, covers failures beyond our replant guarantee, and — yes — earns a small margin. That margin is what lets African Fruit Fight keep planting next month, and the next. We'd rather show it to you than hide it.

Open call to artists

Put your art on the merch — and feed communities with it

We're inviting artists across Africa to submit work on food, land, culture and sustainability. The pieces we fall for get printed on our tees, caps and totes — you're credited, you earn from every sale, and the proceeds plant fruit trees.

1

Submit your work. Original art on food, culture, land and sustainability.

2

We curate & print. The standouts join the African Fruit Fight range.

3

You earn & get credited. Every sale pays you and plants trees.

Submit your artwork

We're looking for original work you hold the rights to. Full submission terms — including how artists are paid and credited — are shared before anything is printed.
