In the heart of Tororo, Eastern Uganda, a crisis of environmental degradation threatens the region's biodiversity and agricultural productivity. Rampant deforestation and wetland destruction have led to irreversible damage, impacting the livelihoods of local

communities. Our proposed solution aims to restore the natural landscapes through community awareness campaigns and large-scale tree planting efforts. By addressing the lack of awareness and engaging communities in restoration efforts, we can

create a sustainable shift towards conservation practices.

Our project's goals include planting 1 million native trees, rehabilitating 100 hectares of wetlands, and increasing environmental conservation awareness among 80% of the local population. We are committed to reversing the tide of environmental degradation in Tororo and fostering a culture of conservation for generations to come.

AYOWECCA UGANDA’s wide range of programs provide support in some of the poorest and most underprivileged communities in Uganda, East Africa. We work with wetlands, peatlands and ecosystem restoration to help address climate change; we also plant fruit trees in schools, health centers and communities to fight food insecurity, increase plantations and provide forest cover.

Besides agroforestry/permaculture, plastic wastes and management and energy conservation, AYOWECCA UGANDA also trains young adolescent girls on how to make reusable sanitary towels and provides scholastic materials to the most vulnerable to attend and access education and creates awareness among communities to actively empower women and children.

Since AYOWECCA UGANDA is community founded, our activities are community based to benefit the local people facing both social and environmental challenges.
