PROJECT BUDGET $62,410
175+ COMMUNITY MEMBERS, 3 SCHOOLS IMPACTED
Our Solar Cooker and Fruit Tree initiative in Eastern Uganda helps schools and families reduce their dependence on wood fuel while improving food security, income, and health.
Working with three local schools—Madera Boys Primary, Kanyumu Comprehensive Secondary, and Usuk Secondary—this project provides solar cookers, fruit trees, and sustainable agriculture training to teachers, students, and their surrounding communities.
How the Project Helps
By introducing clean energy cooking systems and teaching regenerative farming, we aim to:
- Reduce wood fuel use by up to 90%, cutting costs and protecting forests
- Improve air quality and health by eliminating smoke-filled kitchens
- Plant over 4,000 trees, including fruit and timber species such as mango, avocado, pine, eucalyptus, and teak
- Strengthen food security and nutrition through backyard gardening and legume crops
- Train communities in making organic fertilizers and natural pesticides for income and soil restoration
- Empower teachers and families to earn more through the sale of fruit, groundnuts, sim-sim, and other crops
- Build environmental resilience while teaching financial literacy and sustainable entrepreneurship
Community Impact
Each solar cooker reduces the need for firewood, saving both money and trees.
Each fruit tree planted helps feed students and families while restoring the land.
Together, these efforts support over 3,600 students and 30 families, creating lasting change through renewable energy and ecological education.
Help Us make a difference
Donate A stove Today & A tree Today
By planting fruit trees, children will be able to foster tree growth and nourish their bodies. Solar cookers will allow schools to cook for their students without burning wood, which keeps carbon out of the air and trees in the ground.
By donating, you’re supporting:
- Solar cookers that replace wood-burning stoves
- Fruit and timber trees that protect the environment and provide nourishment
- Agricultural and entrepreneurship training that empowers communities to thrive
