To create ‘green consciousness’ and awareness empowering the younger generation for being actors of environmental conservation & protection by providing them an opportunity to actively participate in raising of tree seedlings & tree planting.
The mission of "Green Schools Project" is to create green consciousness among school going children through a mind-set change by involving them in seedlings production and plantation. Environmental conservation is delivered as an experience that is deeply imprinted in each child’s mind rather than curriculum based.
The Green Schools Project (GSP) Tree Planting projects help connect students to the benefits of trees and foster environmental stewardship. Tree planting is a great way to increase student interest in their local environment and achieve academic goals. Each school tree planting provides educators with the opportunity to inspire school administrators, faculty and students to affect positive change at their schools and, in turn, their communities.
When students plant trees, they can see for themselves the structure of trees, learn what they need and how they grow. Teachers can use the planting process to discuss the benefits trees provide, while including many subjects that their classes are studying. As trees mature, the trees can be a continuing, personalized way of relating what they've learned in books to visible, living examples.
Students become aware that they can play a role in protecting the environment through personal involvement. Ultimately, it is hoped that the experience will help them make intelligent decisions about conservation and use of our valuable natural resources. This project creates Environamental Awareness engages and mentorng young people in tree planting activities in communities where they live e.g. Schools, homes, public places etc.
last 5 years of Implementation of the Green Schools Tree Planting Project, 3,800,000 trees have been planted, this includes FRUIT Trees e.g. Mangoes, Oranges, Avocadoes, Jambula, Guava, Tangerine, Pawpaws, White Canarium, Star Fruit, Jackfruit, etc. We have also planted BIOMASS Trees specifically for firewood to help schools in cooking students food e.g. eucalyptus and Melina arbhorea, we have also planted ORNAMENTAL Trees for shade and beauty in school compounds e.g. Ficus Benjamina, Ficus Natalensis, Mahogany, Mvule, Melia Vulkensii, Bathidavia, Terminalia, Pine etc. For more details, kindly visit our page facebook page to view our project activity photos at Click Here

In 2021 1st & 2ND Planting Season from March to June and September to December, our aim is to enable the planting of 1,200,000 agro-forestry seedlings in Schools across the Country. We are looking to partner with Individuals, Ngos & Corporates who are committed to address Climate Change, Social and environmental concerns Globally.
Database of the public schools who have registered and obtained the agro-forestry seedlings along with the details of the contacts where the tree seedlings are planted, project photographs (Digital copies) and a certificate of plantation indicating the total number of trees planted by your company.
A report, 6 months after the seedlings are planted, will provide follow-up status on the seedlings given by GREENING UGANDA, and will be shared with the corporate partner.
Just about everything that we do – Driving, using computers, cooling cars and offices-increases the atmospheric levels of carbon-dioxide, which constantly affects our environment…for the worse.
A single tree removes one metric ton of carbon-dioxide from the air during its lifetime. Sponsor a tree and we will let you know where it is growing
Funding Required - US$ 45,500, this will help us raise and distribute 1,200,000 seedlings, funded costs includes seeds, polythene pot, soil, water, labour, Solar Water Pumps & transport to Schools across the Country. We urgently need funds to Buy seeds, potting materials, implements/tools, set up a documentation & training centre, DONATE NOW your US$ 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 OR More, will help Build Climate Change Resilient Communities, it is SAFE & SECURE
