In partnership with National Forestry Authority and Katakwi District Local Government, Voice for Humanity Uganda has been able to establish a tree nursery located at Katakwi District. So far 5000 seedlings of Pine Trees have been raised and ready for distribution to the community for planting during this rainy season. We plan to support 100 farmers each with 50 tree seedlings.
Currently additional 10,000 tree seedlings of Gravelia are being raised which shall be ready in the next rainy season which begins in September 2023.
Katakwi District is experiencing unprecedented scale of forest destruction especially for Charcoal. The land is fast becoming bear with traditional trees including shea nut getting extinct. Voice for Humanity Uganda is undertaking community wide sensitization efforts in abid to encourage people to plant trees. This is being complemented with distribution of tree seedlings to the community.
