Food forests

We’ve been planting trees in Uganda with local community partners Karambi Group of People with Disabilities (KaGPWD).

Together we are teaching and promoting tree planting and permaculture to local schools and people living with disabilities. And we’re transforming unproductive land into food forests.

“This project has helped us to plant trees that in the future will help reduce climate change. For people with disabilities, it is a very good project. If you plant a tree in your compound all it needs is water. Trees are a source of food at the household level and as well as in getting an income. We would love to see more people with disabilities getting engaged in other income generating activities.” Godfrey Bwambale, Programmes Director at KaGPWD.

Beyond providing an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, food forests can enrich local biodiversity and lead to improved community health and wellbeing.
