A Living Legacy
In Their Name
Dedicate a tree as Sadaqah Jariyah in memory of a loved one. A real tree, planted in Puntland, growing as an ongoing act of charity on their behalf.
"When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: a continuing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them."
— Sahih Muslim 1631
Charity that continues after death
Sadaqah Jariyah — ongoing charity — is one of the most beloved acts in Islam. Unlike a one-time gift, it continues to benefit others and earn reward long after the giver has passed.
A tree is one of the most powerful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah. It provides shade, fruit, and oxygen for years — even decades — after it is planted. Every person who benefits from that tree becomes part of the ongoing reward.
By dedicating a memorial tree through Roots of Puntland, you plant a real tree in Puntland — in a school, masjid, village, or family home — in the name of someone you love.
A real tree, a real place
Your tree is physically planted in Puntland by our local teams — not a symbolic gesture.
Ongoing reward
Every person who benefits from the tree's shade, fruit, or oxygen becomes part of the reward for your loved one.
Personalised certificate
You receive a beautiful certificate of dedication naming the person honoured and the location of planting.
Community benefit
Trees are planted where they are most needed — in schools, masjids, and communities across Puntland.
A keepsake to treasure
Every memorial tree dedication comes with a personalised certificate — beautifully designed and ready to print or share digitally.
- Name of the person being honoured
- Name of the person making the dedication
- Location and year of planting
- A Hadith on Sadaqah Jariyah
