Okere City in Uganda provides an inspiring model for sustainability and rural development. And bamboo, of course, is part of the recipe

Okere, located on a semi-arid belt is filled with small shrubs and savannah grassland. We are making radical attempts to green Okere by planting more trees and conserving natural tree species

We sensitize our community about the value of shea trees which grow vastly in our area. We also run advocacy campaigns and work with local authorities against illegal cutting of shea trees.
