The TREE Strategic Plan
After almost 4 decades of an impactful and a strong showing, this strategic plan is heralding a new chapter in the life of TREE. In many ways, TREE has come of age. We have reached a point where TREE must walk the delicate balance of continuity and breaking new ground.
From our history, with all its positives and changing fortunes, we have so much to learn from; to sustain ourselves and to continue doing what do best. Yet, the beckoning future, with all the daunting challenges for the early childhood development sector in our country, holds countless opportunities committed organisations like TREE.
Inspired by our vision and focused on realising the mission ahead, TREE’s strategic plan is a great leap into the future. It is a gamechanger.

The Plan for the Next Five Years
For the next five (years), from 2022 to 2026, TREE will focus all its energies and resources in consolidating the success of the past and moving with greater purpose towards the realisation of its vision. Our mission statement, has created the parameters within which our activities will fall, will inform what is and what is not our mandate and, in the end, it will help facilitate the broader strategic choices our board will make, as we go along.
From this strategic positioning, our management and staff will benefit from clarity of purpose and a clear-cut direction.
Through our actions, today as in tomorrow, we feel empowered to proclaim to ourselves, the beneficiaries of our commitment and toil, our countless stakeholders and the entire ECD sector;
The FUTURE IS HERE, it is in our hands.
