About Us

TREE Head Office - TRansforming the Educational Environment

TREE Head Office is located at Doxa Deo Faerie Glen in Faerie Glen, Pretoria East and is a movement where people take responsibility for the transformation of educational environments! TREE stands for “Transforming the Educational Environment” and was established in 2010 by Doxa Deo Ministries and is a Public Benefit Organization accredited section 18A. Our vision is to help each school develop a strategy to be a healthier environment for the next generation.

TREE is Doxa Deo’s answer to making a Christ-centred difference in schools. Doxa Deo believes that the answer to city transformation lies with the younger generation as they are the future leaders of South Africa. Our Youth workers are actively involved at High schools as well as Primary schools in our environment where we serve our teachers and learners weekly.

OUR VISION:
TREE's focus on schools is an effort to develop a strategy where schools can be a healthy environment, in all facets, for the development of the next generation. We do this by supporting the educational staff and school leadership, as well as effectively guiding learners through the challenges unique to their age groups.

TREE is a holistic outreach based program focused on all stakeholders in a school: leaners, parents, teachers and principals. Our approach is based on Biblical principles and addresses issues such as identity, character and morality.

OUR STRATEGY:
We are currently involved in 95 schools throughout South Africa and have adopted a partnership approach to addressing the health of a school. In working with Consulta, TREE has developed the "Health Check Study". This study is specifically designed to measure the overall health status of a school community.

Our TREE process consists of:
1. A 'Health Check Study' for both leaners and teachers.
2. A 'Health Plan' specifically designed with various stakeholders of the school.
3. The implementation of the 'Health Plan' through strategic partners in the school environment.
