Restoring forests. Rebuilding futures.
The problem
Uganda has lost 60% of its forest cover since 1990. In the West Nile region alone, half the original forests are gone, cleared for farming, fuel, and construction by communities with no alternatives.
The result: eroded soil, failing crops, and families increasingly vulnerable to drought and floods.
Restoring these forests isn’t just an environmental act. It’s the foundation for food security, resilient livelihoods, and lasting community wellbeing.
How we work
Reforestation and agroforestry
Training
Monitoring
Planting native trees across 400 km² in the Nebbi District and integrating them into farmland to restore soil, improve harvests, and diversify household income.
Equipping local caregivers, farmers, and schools with the skills to grow, plant, and steward trees, turning knowledge into long-term care of the land and its people.
Tracking every site on the ground with GPS coordinates, species counts, and regular field reports, so that each tree planted is a tree accounted for.
