What We Do
To combat the challenges posed by climate change, we focus on:
- Public awareness and education in conservation, tree growing and land restoration efforts running campaigns, organizing local clean ups, earth hour walks and workshops to foster a sense of collective responsibility and empowering communities.
- Tree seed multiplication at our local nurseries mainly propagating iconic indigenous and threatened tree species such as Albezia, Markhamia, Mivule, Musizi, Gulveria, Callaidra, Prunus Africana, Mahogony, Cordia, Neem, Bamboo.
- Planting of indigenous tree species, including bamboo, to conserve river catchments and fragile lands in collaboration with small holder farmers
- Promoting sustainable agriculture practices such as agroforestry and other practices that enhance biodiversity and soil fertility
- Facilitating access to clean and energy efficient technologies including ecological cook stoves
- Institutionalizing sustainable environmental practices by engaging schools, churches, and local governments in conservation education, tree growing, and land restoration efforts
- Protection of restricted areas such as national parks, forests to conserve biodiversity
- Strengthening sustainable livelihood options such as beekeeping, kitchen and gardens
- Advocacy and policy influence for climate justice
