Fruit trees for sustainable livelihoods in Uganda

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your support of the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation's "Fruit Trees For Uganda" program. Last year we traveled across the world this beautiful African nation, bringing orchards to schools, women's clinics, prisons, community plots, and family homes.  During our visit, we were featured on national television and radio programs, and were even invited to the Prime Minister's office in the capital of Kampala.  After such a great response, combined with an excellent survival rate of last year's trees, FTPF is returning to Uganda this August.  Our team is currently hard at work with project planning, and we are excited to continue to receive additional support from the Global Giving Community in order to reach our goals and begin implementation. We are equally as excited to work with amazing non-profits like our partners on the ground in Uganda, the Africa Partnership on Climate Change Coalition, without whom we would not be able to return this year with thousands more trees. 

Fruit Trees For Uganda will create outdoor, edible classrooms for schools, provide a source of improved nutrition and environmental education, and bring added income to families in need all while cleaning the air, water, and soil of Uganda. We look forward to future updates with additional details once we reach our goals. And again, our thanks to you and the entire GlobalGiving community for your generous support!

Gratefully,

The entire FTPF team
