Recent Projects
The organization is proud to have embarked on and completed a number of projects without external or donor funding. Indeed, all ongoing projects are also internally funded. This is testimony of the organization’s core belief in doing anything it can to mitigate and/or combat the adverse effects of Climate Change and doing it now, even if without support.
Nakaswa Pine Plantation Project
This was the pioneer project for Health Climate Uganda. Planted on a piece of land measuring seven acres, the 2600 pine tree project is now into its 8th year. Located 58kms East of Kampala at Nakaswa village, Kasawo Sub – County, Mukono District, the project was intended to re – introduce a forest cover in an area that due to human activity, had significantly lost its natural forests. The project life span is projected at 25 - 30years.
Koome Island Phase I Pine Tree Project
In 2011, the organization acquired a 40acre piece of land at Kibanga, Koome Island, Mukono District. In 2014, the organization embarked on planting pine trees on the first 10acres of the land. The nearby Kibanga Forest previously touched the shores of the L. Victoria from deep inside the Island but had been degraded by the Islanders. The intention of this project is to restore the forest cover. So far, 3400 trees have been planted and the project life span is projected at 30years.
Koome Phase II Refrorestation Project
The organization is in preliminary planning stages for the commencement of the phase II of restoring forest cover at Kibanga, Koome Island, Mukono District.
