Our Programs

The Seeds for the Future Campaign is a scheme that empowers schools to establish Fruit Tree Nurseries in their backyards as a way of fighting Climate Change.  We are reawakening schools into becoming important stakeholders in reforestation and in the fight against Climate Change and also recognising the role of children as agents in making the world a better place for us all. 

This comes amidst the fact that schools have for so long been used as only learning centers where children go to simply learn and pass exams.  We are changing this narrative by engaging schools to become solution – based Institutions as far as combating deforestation in Uganda is concerned.  We are engaging them to into action that will see them produce 6000 fruit trees each every single year.  We envision a world where every school has its own Fruit Tree Nursery from which tree seedlings are derived and planted not only within the school, but also in the neighborhood and children plus school staff take some home for planting.

​

Program Objectives:

1. Engage 40,000 School children in 200 schools of Uganda into action that will see school produce 6000 fruit trees each every single year using plastics and polythene bags collected from the communities.

2. Establish 200 Fruit Tree Nurseries in 200 schools of Uganda, managed by children of the respective Schools which will eventually be planted in the schools and communities.

3. Grow 1,200,000 fruit Tree Seedlings from the 200 schools every single year. These schools will play a pivotal role in re-greening deforested land in Uganda.

4. Encourage schools take up Tree Nurseries as a side business in the long run.

5. Take Environmental Education into schools enlightening children about causes and impact of deforestation and how it is bound to affect their future.

6. Fusing Tree Planting with plastic recycling to 40,000 students to schools in Eastern Uganda.

Within this framework, we empower schools and children in particular, start and manage their own fruit Tree Nursery Beds using plastics.  Children are tasked to raise 30 fruit tree each in 4 months, which they in turn plant in their schools and homes. The Seeds Campaign is targeting 200 schools in Uganda as the first phase of raising   1,200,000 trees within 200 Ugandan schools in one year.  The campaign encourages use of plastic bottles and polythene bags in raising the tree nurseries in schools and communities as a way of reducing the problem of plastics from the communities.

​

Wide scale reforestation programs are hampered by high prices of seedlings in the local markets which has been a limiting factor for communities and individuals to get engaged into reforestation initiatives. We are have come up with a solution -based approach dubbed The Seeds for the Future Campaign.

Renewable energy for schools and communities

Tackling the Issue

We empower children and communities to make low cost renewable energy using local materials (charcoal briquettes). Over 60 percent of Uganda's population has no access to electricity and depend entirely on firewood as a source of energy leading to massive deforestation in order to meet the high energy needs of the country.  

To address this problem, we are equipping children and communities with skills in making briquettes made from low-cost materials from the environment, this will help reduce deforestation while also meeting the energy demands in Uganda's highly impoverished rural areas.
