Trees
make wonderful gifts - be a part of something amazing
Do you want to buy a meaningful present?
Why not consider giving a gift of trees to your friends and families?
Do something wonderful to help reforest the slopes of the Rwenzori Mountains.
Trees that will bind the soil, provide shade for ground crops and provide a harvest of food and a living. Through this we hope to prevent the catastrophic land slides that have killed people, destroyed homes and crops. All this compounded by unseasonal and heavy rains due to climate change.
After only 4 years cacao produces a cash crop
The seeds and saplings are nurtured by people within the community until they are strong enough to be planted on the slopes of The Rwenzori, on field boundaries or interplanted with crops as shade trees. The arch deacons in the 14 arch deaconries of the South Rwenzori are pleased to be part of this initiative shared between AWU and the Bishop.
We have planted 1,138,326 saplings
Saplings being given out in April 2025
Cacao trees are a preferred choice of tree because the tree lasts for 100 years and produces a cash crop of cocoa beans with in four years. The current price is 25,000 UGX per 1 kilo cocoa pods. The husks can also be used in a variety of ways including fuel for fires. Currently the cacao trees are planted amongst banana plants for shade but we are encouraging the growth of indigenous trees as well.
A gift of trees will make a wonderful present.
The shared plan is to have a tree nursery in every archdeaconry.
£5.00 will pay for a tree, nurtured from seed to sapling, planted out and maintained.
