Story about the Founder/Executive Director

After the insurgency, people resorted to cutting down trees for charcoal burning and firewood for cooking, settlements due to high populations, agriculture and infrastructure like roads. All these activities have led to global warming with it's adverse effects.  

Climate change have turned the seasons around with North-Eastern region experiencing 

unpredictable, prolonged drought and rainfall with the rainy season becoming more variable in length and droughts more ubiquitous altering the length of the growing season of crops, reducing yield potential, increasing the frequency and severity of extreme events (in particular droughts and floods), and increasing the incidence of plant diseases.

There has been an increasing occurrences of water-borne diseases such as dysentery, cholera, hepatitis E, vector-borne diseases, respiratory diseases, malnutrition-related illnesses, and especially malaria. 

Impacts of climate change such as droughts, floods, storms, heat 

waves have also contributed to soil degradation and had serious effects on agricultural production, food security, 

nutrition, incomes, health status and the livelihoods. 

Ignorance of the population especially in rural areas has resulted to more damage on the environment thus need for community sensitization on the causes and dangers of cutting down trees. 

We have so far planted trees in the areas of Paicho, Gulu district with the help of the village leaders and we are soon extending to other places.

I believe if we join our hands together we shall achieve the best results. 

"Humans are commanded to care for God's creation" (Genesis 2:15). So we stewards of the of the earth have full responsibility to take good care of it.
