About Share The Truth

Share The Truth is built on a simple idea: facts can change the world when we empower the right people to share them. This platform was born from a deeply personal journey – one that began with planting trees and has evolved into planting seeds of truth. Founded by Marvin Baker, Share The Truth carries forward his lifelong mission to build purpose-led systems that uplift those often overlooked, ensuring that truth and opportunity reach everyone.

It Started with Frustration

I’d built businesses before, but after stepping away I found myself doing what everyone does — scrolling through videos.
One said creatine was good for you. The next said it was dangerous.
Another claimed high doses were essential; another said they’d wreck your kidneys.
It hit me: social media is unregulated. People can say anything, go viral doing it, and never face the consequences when someone believes them.

The crazier the claim, the faster it spreads. The louder the voice, the more people listen — whether it’s true or not.
And I realised: if no one fixes this, we’re heading for a world where facts don’t stand a chance.

So I decided to build something real — something that puts fact-checking in the palms of people’s hands.
A way to make truth as shareable, as clickable, and as visible as misinformation.
That’s how Share The Truth was born — not from theory, but from the need to give people power over what they believe.

About the Founder: Planting Seeds of Change

Marvin Baker’s story started far from the tech world – in rural Africa. In 2009, while working in South Africa, he witnessed extreme poverty firsthand. He realized that deforestation and unsustainable farming were destroying both the land and the local livelihoods. Determined to make a lasting difference, Marvin returned to the UK with a vision: help communities lift themselves out of poverty by restoring their environment. He founded a not for profit, Green Earth Appeal, then later became GiftTrees to put this vision into action. GiftTrees financed education and training for rural groups to grow productive forests for food, water, and income – a purpose-led system designed for those with few resources or formal education.

The results were life-changing. GiftTrees enabled communities across Africa, Asia, and the Americas to plant millions of trees while improving their own futures. In one 2017 project, for example, they funded a quarter-million trees in one of Tanzania

a’s poorest regions. Those trees provided jobs and nourishment for local families, and will absorb thousands of tons of CO2 each year. By 2019, Marvin’s initiatives had already planted over 1 million trees worldwide – each one a symbol of hope, renewal, and opportunity. Under Marvin’s leadership, GiftTrees grew into a global movement (aiming to plant 1 billion trees and uplift 1 million people) and by late 2022 was planting nearly 100,000 trees every month at which point Marvin handed over the baton of CEO. Having built GiftTrees into a thriving force for good, Marvin, at this stage, responsible for 4.6 million trees, exited the organization in October 2024 to begin a new chapter – carrying his passion from the forests to the frontlines of information.
