In November 2022, we planted our very first tree in the degraded strip of Mount Elgon National Park. Since then, we have successfully restored more than 150 hectares of degraded forest landscape across Masira and Bumugibole sub-counties within the park with support from our partners International Tree Foundation, , ECKCT , Bulambuli Local Government, and Uganda Wildlife Authority.

NTV Uganda featured a News story highlighting their contribution to environmental restoration and community transformation, further amplifying their vital role in advancing climate action in Uganda.

This water project in Bumaeana, Mbale District, is part of the tree growing programme supported by the Welsh Government through Size of Wales . It not only supports the Bumaeana Community tree nursery site but also serves the surrounding community.
The solar-powered water system now benefits 10 villages in Bumaean Parish, Bukiende Subcounty, significantly improving access to clean and reliable water for both community use and nursery operations. The struggle for clean water is now greatly reduced, and women no longer have to walk long distances in search of water, freeing up time for household and productive activities while improving overall well-being in the community.
