Our Core Expertise

Combining technical proficiency with deep local understanding to drive sustainable recovery and development in Northern Uganda.

Nature conservation and environmental protection

Child-led Environmental clubs

The next generation isn't just waiting for the future—they’re building it. Our clubs empower students to take the lead on conservation projects, fostering leadership skills and a lifelong commitment to environmental stewardship within their communities.

Green Zone

We transform Gulu’s school grounds into "Living Classrooms." By establishing fruit woodlots and micro-gardens, we provide students with hands-on experience in climate-smart nutrition and environmental literacy, turning playgrounds into productive ecosystems.

Climate Variability Centers

These hubs serve as the frontline for local adaptation. Through Climate Risk Training, we equip communities with the data and tools needed to navigate unpredictable weather patterns, ensuring food security and long-term stability.

Bio-Energy Livelihoods

Sustainability must be profitable to be permanent. We promote clean energy solutions and eco-friendly income streams that reduce reliance on deforestation, protecting the environment while uplifting the economic status of local families.

Preserving the local landscape starts with the right seeds. Our nursery focuses on cultivating native species to restore biodiversity, improve soil health, and ensure that reforestation efforts in Northern Uganda are both culturally relevant and ecologically resilient.
