EMPOWER COMMUNITIES PLANT 50,000 TREES IN UGANDA

PLATFORM for the NEEDY (Uganda) has continued to serve the vulnerable communities in Uganda despite not getting any funding or donations this quarter.

This quarter we did not get any donations but with local resources mobilization and with partnership with Fort TV, we planted 750 trees in five primary schools.

As PLANE we thank Fort TV and our local supporters for this support that enabled to plant these trees.

We also appreciate GlobalGiving for offering us the opportunity to host our project campaigns and fundraise.

Uganda still faces significant challenges related to deforestation and climate change.

The country is experiencing the ongoing deforestation driven by the need for food, medicine, charcoal, and timber.

 According to statistics, Uganda's deforestation rate is alarmingly high, with approximately 90,000 hectares of forest lost annually.

Your support will help in fighting the rapid deforestation that contributes to environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, and exacerbates the impacts of climate change.  Your donation whether small or big will enable PLANE and with its environmental champions move to more schools and communities to plant trees and establish the environmental champions.

625 Trees Planted This Quarter, Thanks to Our Donors

Dear Valued Donor,

On behalf of PLATFORM for the NEEDY (PLANE) Uganda, a charity dedicated to advocating for the rights of children, youth, and women in rural Uganda, we would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciation for your generous support towards our tree planting initiatives. Your contributions are instrumental in promoting a generation that respects and cares for nature.

Recent Achievements

This quarter, in collaboration with our partner Fort TV, we have successfully amplified the voices of our campaign to plant trees and green schools across Uganda. We are proud to report that we have planted 625 tree seedlings of Gloveria and compound shed trees across three schools and one community. This initiative not only enhances the environment but also instills a sense of responsibility and stewardship in our children and youth.

Our Mission

At PLANE Uganda, we are committed to nurturing children and youth to become environmental champions. We believe that by partnering with more individuals and institutions, we can significantly increase our impact and ensure the planting of many more trees to conserve our precious natural resources.

Appreciation

We extend our deepest gratitude to all our donors and supporters. Your unwavering commitment has empowered children and communities in our tree planting efforts. Together, we are making strides toward a greener future.

Our Goal

Our ambitious goal is to plant one million trees. To date, we have successfully planted 12,625 trees. This achievement is a testament to the collective effort of our generous donors on GlobalGiving and our dedicated partners.

Call for Support

Despite our progress and efforts, we have yet to reach our targeted number of schools and trees due to limited funding. We humbly appeal for additional support from our valued donors and partners. Your contributions will enable us to extend our reach to more schools and communities, fostering a greener Uganda for generations to come.

Thank you for your continued support and belief in our mission. Together, we can make a lasting difference.

With gratitude,

Steven Waddell
