Youth in Jinja area have been planting fruit trees for their communities and we have reached our goal number of schools and nurseries. We have new schools to connect, and our new climate captains are ready to lead more trainings and take new initiatives. Help us grow even more!
Challenge
Girls 4 Climate has been working with youth in communities and schools to create hubs for climate action. We have so far planted hundreds of thousands of trees. The outsourcing of seedlings has proven to be very expensive and unreliable, however. We need to be able to establish our own tree nurseries locally and train youth who want to be their stewards.
Long-Term Impact
The project will provide 10,000 fruit tree seedlings over a year, to both schools and communities which will be a source of food and contribute to climate change mitigation.
