What We Do
Eight Programmes, One Mission

01
Climate Action & Environmental Conservation
Establishing green spaces across Rachuonyo East Sub-County through the Go Green Live Longer Initiative, Learn and Grow school tree-planting project, and active participation in national environmental days alongside partner organisations.
02
Food Security
Running an active horticultural farming project on approximately 5 acres along the Sondu Miriu River in Abuoye Village — growing kales, cabbages, black nightshade and cow peas to improve community nutrition and livelihoods.
