Plant an Olive Tree - Donation

Try to picture this: a rocky hillside outside Bethlehem, maybe a bit chilly in the morning. The olive trees are everywhere—some old, some new, all a little crooked, none perfect. They’ve stood here through wars and winters and weddings. generations of families, Christians mostly, have cared for these olive trees with hands full of dirt and hearts full of hope.

Planting an Olive Tree in Bethlehem isnt about the land. Its about stories and its about not giving up , no matter how hard the times. Your tree is not just roots and leaves. It’s a piece of faith that keeps on growing, year after year, long after you click that button.

Some folks plant a tree for a loved one who’s gone. Others do it for a new baby, or for a wedding, or just because they want to feel a little closer to this land. And if you want, you can plant two, five, even a dozen trees at once—there’s no limit. Every tree matters. Plant as many as your heart says.

Here’s how it goes, in plain words:

Someone—usually a local Christian farmer who’s up before the sun—will take your tree, dig the hole, set it in the ground, and maybe say a small prayer. Not for show, just the way it’s always been done here.

We’ll send you a digital certificate by email. Not some fancy thing, but a real note you can print or share, if you like. A lot of folks just keep it close, to remember they did something good.

Every so often, you’ll get a picture or a little update from the grove. Sometimes you’ll see bright green leaves, sometimes just hands in the soil, sometimes a quiet story from a family whose life is a little bit better because of you.

How You Help the Christian Farmer

The truth is, farmers here don’t have it easy. They’re not rich, not by a long shot. The ones planting your trees are the same folks who’ve been working this land forever—fighting bad weather, bad prices, sometimes worse. When you plant a tree, you help a Christian family stay on their land, keep their dignity, and feed their children. Your gift lets them know the world hasn’t forgotten them. Maybe that’s the best part of all this.

So if you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to plant real hope—this is it. No speeches, no fancy words. Just you, this ancient land, and a tree that’ll grow for decades, maybe centuries.

Add as many trees as you like. Each one gets its own story, its own chance to change a little piece of the reality of Bethlehem.

Bethlehem remembers everyone who plants here. Thank you for being part of our story.
