It all started with an invitation from my friend and classmate at Nkumba University, Hakim. He told me, ‘We’re not earning money, but we’re earning a life—and planting for generations to come.’

That’s how I joined Treescape Planet Organisation, which quickly became more than a team—it became family. As a volunteer, I’ve enjoyed every inclusive tree-planting activity across Uganda. We’ve educated communities about the dangers of deforestation, poor waste management, and reclaiming wetlands, while promoting tree planting, proper waste disposal, and protecting vegetation.

These efforts don’t just keep our country green—they reduce runoff, shield homes from strong winds, and create spaces for recreation. Working with Treescape, surrounded by people who share this vision, always puts a smile on my face. Truly, when you plant a tree, you plant a life.
