    Description

    We are a community-based organization that assists nature through tree planting, waste management, and carbon emission reduction. Our agency provides services and support through the provision of tree seedlings to institutions and individuals, training households on clean energy practices to reduce fumes that go into the sky and to reduce firewood consumption, training on waste management, recycling of plastic wastes, and training programs on tree planting in the community. It was formed in March 2020 and registered with Kasese District Local Government in July 2022. We are located in Kisanga, Nyamwamba Division, Kasese Municipality, Uganda. This is in Kasese town, which makes it easy to have good accommodation near the office.
