For a Better Tomorrow
Environmental restoration and natural resource management
Restoring degraded areas and promoting sustainable management of shared resources is a key focus for Ujamaa Foundation. To achieve this, the foundation has implemented various activities, including tree planting initiatives aimed at improving natural resource management. Over the years, Ujamaa has been actively involved in planting trees in degraded areas within communities, as well as in public institutions like schools, hospitals, and administrative offices to enhance tree cover. The trees planted are mostly local species chosen for their resilience to dry conditions, ensuring that they thrive in these challenging environments.
