Fruit trees for sustainable livelihoods in Uganda

The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation is in the planning stages for 2018's trip to Uganda, which will be our fifth consecutive year working with rural families and farmers along the Nile River. We are amazed by the support and response to this project; we have been directly requested by the Prime MInister's office to have a sustained, long-term presence here in order to help fight the effects of climate change and food insecurity for this country.

Can you help us fufill our promise to the Ugandan people by contirbuting $25 today?

Every donation helps, and we want to thank you for your believing in the power of fruit trees to effect change in the daily lives of struggling families!

17,500 trees planted over 15 days.

The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation planted and distributed an average of over 1,000 trees per day during our trip to Uganda this year. That's thousands of pounds of food, hundreds of dollars in income for families, tens of thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide sequestered, oxygen created, and air pollutants filtered from the air, and innumerable learning opportunities in food production and horticultural skills. 

We are so proud of this project, and couldn't do it without our wonderful local partners, the Africa Partnership on Climate Change Coalition; with their on-the-ground support, we've been able to grow healthy saplings in our local nursery using organic, environmentally friendly practices. 

And we couldn't do it without you! Every dollar donated reinforces our determination to continue this work towards environmental, economic, and nutritional opportunities in Uganda!

To a fruitful future for all Ugandans,

The FTPF Team
