Program Impact

A Thriving Tree Nursery

From nurturing seedlings to empowering students and farmers, the Kamili Project remains a vital force for positive change. Through reforestation, permaculture, and education, we are planting the seeds for a greener, healthier, and more resilient future. The project’s tree nursery is currently flourishing with a wide variety of seedlings, carefully selected to serve multiple community needs:
  • Fruit Trees: Mango, Avocado, Jackfruit, Soursop, and Papaya – vital for nutrition and income generation.
  • Timber Trees: Musizi – fast-growing and useful for construction and furniture.
  • Fodder Trees: Calliandra – excellent for livestock feed.
  • Nutritional Trees: Moringa, known as the ‘miracle tree’, is highly nutritious for both people and animals.
These trees not only support environmental restoration but also contribute to better livelihoods and improved diets.

Demonstration Farm Progress – Nakyaka

At the Nakyaka demonstration farm, the 1000-tree banana plantation is progressing well and serves as a practical model for farmers. In addition, 12 different species of bamboo have been planted at the site. This bamboo plot will serve as a mother garden, enabling future production and wider distribution of bamboo seedlings.

Permaculture in 8 Kamuli Schools

The Kamili Project’s permaculture initiative in 8 Kamuli schools empowers students through hands-on learning in sustainable agriculture and environmental care. School gardens serve as living classrooms where pupils gain practical skills in soil health, composting, organic gardening, water conservation, and nutrition. These gardens enhance school food supply while nurturing environmentally conscious youth who understand the value of sustainability and self-reliance, preparing them to contribute positively to their communities.
