We are proud to present the 2025 Climate Fund Progress Report, showcasing the inspiring work of our Naturefriends organisations in Senegal, Mali, and Togo. Their achievements are not only captured in writing but also brought vividly to life through engaging videos.

In 2025, the Climate Fund focused on planting fruit trees – an activity that continues to grow and take roots across all partner countries. 

In Senegal, this effort is part of the ongoing Tree Sponsorship project, launched in 2023. This ambitious initiative aims to plant at least 3,500 fruit trees each year, combining environmental action with educational programmes that raise awareness of the importance of climate protection and highlight the importance of taking care of the trees.

In Mali, the project A Tree Nursery for Farako, which began in 2022, has evolved into a long-term initiative. Its goals include planting a minimum of 500 fruit trees annually, engaging local schools in environmental education, and strengthening community awareness of climate protection. 

A new Climate Fund project was launched in Togo in August 2025, and has already been creating a strong impact, with more than 3,500 trees planted to date. Led by CASE TOGO – Amis de la Nature in partnership with the Municipality of Kpalimé, the project aims to plant at least 5,000 trees by 2027. 

Our report also highlights our efforts to raise awareness of the Climate Fund and shares insights into the campaigns that have helped increase both visibility and support. 

One key initiative is our “1 Euro for Climate Justice” campaign, launched in March 2024. So far, nine Naturefriends groups have committed to donating one euro per member each year, creating a reliable source of funding for future Climate Fund projects and communicating the topic of climate justice on the local level. Our Christmas campaign also played an important role in raising awareness while generating donations to support the Climate Fund projects. 

We would like to thank everyone who has been part of our joint commitment for the Climate Fund! With your support, we have taken another step forward on our journey towards greater climate justice and a good future and have been able to send a message of hope and solidarity in these difficult times.
