<h1>Plant an Olive Tree in Palestine</h1> <p>The Well Foundation Olive Tree Project with Muslim Hands.</p> <p>To plant an olive tree in Palestine in your or a loved one's name simply complete the form on the right and add it to your donation basket. Each tree costs <strong>only £10</strong>.</p> <p>Trees are planted in batches during the planting season which extends from March to October. You can donate a tree at any time, with plantation taking place as soon as possible if in season or at the start of the next planting season otherwise.</p> <p>We will (unless you request otherwise) send you a Certificate of Plantation as shown below. Please ensure you enter correctly the name you'd like to appear on the certificate, especially if it is intended as a gift. You will receive the certificate 7-10 days after your donation.</p> <p><img src="http://cdn1.muslimhands.net/media/pages/our_work/environment_and_agriculture/tree_plantation/palestine/treecertificate.jpg" alt="An example Certificate of Plantation." width="256" height="184"></p> <h2>Olive Tree Scheme Details</h2> <div class="breakoutboxb" style="float: right; width: 250px;"> <div class="breakoutboxbheader">Did You Know?</div> <ul class="bulleted"> <li>The olive tree is no ordinary tree. It is mentioned six times in the Qur'an.</li> <li>An olive tree can give fruit for hundreds of years.</li> <li>Olive trees provide food, oil and medicine.</li> <li>Olive trees provide a livelihood to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who depend upon them.</li> <li>The olive tree is a symbol of peace and firmness.</li> <li>The olive tree is a part of the Palestinian heritage.</li> </ul> </div> <p>It is estimated that since September 2000 the Israelis have uprooted almost 400,000 Palestinian olive trees. Since the building of the wall this number has grown drastically as orchard after orchard is cleared, or farmers are left cut off from their land.</p> <p>Olive trees and their harvest are vital to the economy and are a symbol of the Palestinian heritage and identity. Many farmers have been left destitute by the loss of their only source of income and this has had a knock-on effect on labourers and other parts of the economy.</p> <p>Recognising this need, the willingness of people around the world to help the Palestinians and the real difference that could be made, Muslim Hands launched our olive tree plantation scheme in 2003.</p> <p>The idea is simple: for <strong>only £10</strong> you can pay for an olive tree to be planted in Palestine in your or a loved one's name. We will send you a Certificate of Plantation (see above), making this an ideal gift. Moreover, together we can make a real difference to the lives of thousands of Palestinians. Since the scheme was launched we have planted well over 35,000 trees and restored the livelihoods of hundreds of people.</p> <p>Olive trees are of course also an excellent form of sadaqa jaria (continuous charity) and will be a source of reward for as long as individuals or the community benefit.</p>
