Muli mutya friends,

While we are in the planning phase for our next Uganda tree planting and distribution project in 2020, we thought it'd be nice to introduce you to the amazing team we have in the country.

Meet Edward, our Uganda Programs Director who first reached out to FTPF almost 10 years ago to launch a fruit tree planting initiative in his adopted country. Edward, originally from Tanzania, is the Executive Director of the local NGO Africa Partnership on Climate Change Coalition and has dedicated his life to mitigating climate change in East Africa. As the director of our programs and partner nursery in Jinja, Edward is in charge of ensuring that tens of thousands of saplings are grown to the highest standard in the nursery and planted with communities, schools, and municipalities throughout the region. Edward is passionate about creating positive change in Uganda through the planting and distribution of fruit trees and we are grateful to have him leading this initiative!

Keep an eye out for our next project report which will introduce more members of our Uganda team!

Musiibe bulungi (Have a nice day)!
