Seeds for the Future Campaign

Within this framework, we shall empower schools and children in particular, start and manage their own fruit Tree Nursery Beds using plastics. Students will be tasked to raise 30 fruit tree each in 4 every School Term which they in turn plant in their schools and Communities. The Campaign is targeting 200 schools in Uganda as the first phase of raising 1,200,000 trees within 200 Ugandan schools in one year. The campaign will encourage use of plastic bottles and polythene bags in raising the tree nurseries in schools and communities as a way of reducing the problem of plastics from the communities. Trainings will be done in the schools after a formal reaching a formal agreement with the School Administration which will on their part involve, availing us a class of atleast 100 students for training in Tree Nursery Management and tree planting, availing us Teachers who will co-ordinate the training , reminding students to collect plastic bottles, supervise the watering of seedlings and monitor the project. Students will be divided into different groups , be allowed to select their 2 group leaders who will be responsible for drafting and supervising watering schedules within the groups. This will ease the work of the Environmental Teachers whose rile will now be to monitor performance and recommend problem solving measures. The Schools Tree Project will provide seeds to the schools for planting in the Seedpots. Fruit Seeds like Jackfruits and Ovacado will be given priority. After planting, the organisation will be charged with monitoring and Evaluation of the program plus making recommendations where necessary. It will also be charged with equipping the schools with skills on how to conduct Community reforestation After 6 weeks of watering, the seedlings will then be planted in the School compounds. The remaining ones will be planted in the neighbouring Communities by the students in collaboration with the School Administration. In brief, the implementation plan will be divided into five phases as elaborated below. Implemetation Plan Phase 1 - Nursery Establishment Phase 2 - Growing the Seeds ( Watering.
