PROJECT OVERVIEW:
What: 5,400 Trees
Where: Zone 3 Bidi Bidi
Partner: ICRAG
Completed: November 22
‘We have seen numerous tree planting activities over the years with little success. HYT’s approach has been a refreshing change from past projects. Emphasis on engaging the community and prioritising seedling survival has been a success. The trees are now taller than me and once mature will transform the school compound.’
Abiriga Ashraf, Headmaster Alaba Primary School
KEY STATISTICS:
5,400 trees planted
28,000 school children will benefit
16 school compounds transformed with shade, fruit and timber products
