In the heart of rural Uganda, a single fruit tree can mean the difference between scarcity and abundance, bare soil and shade, hunger and nourishment. At Primate Girls Go Green Foundation Ltd, we believe in the quiet but powerful transformation that begins with planting just one tree and how that simple act can uplift an entire community.

The Power of a Fruit Tree

Unlike ordinary trees, fruit-bearing trees offer multiple benefits. They:

• Provide nutritious food for families and school children
• Generate income through fruit sales at local markets
• Restore soil health and prevent erosion
• Create shade and improve air quality
• Absorb carbon and help fight climate change

One mango, avocado, or guava tree doesn’t just grow branches , it grows opportunity, especially for women and youth who rely on land for survival.

A Story from the Field

In Buyende District, 14-year-old Asha, a student at Kalagala Secondary School, planted her first mango tree through our school program. Two years later, that tree provides her family with seasonal fruit, and she sells the extra harvest to buy school supplies.

“I used to think planting trees was for farmers,” Asha says, smiling. “Now I know it’s for girls who want to change the world.”

Girls Leading the Way

Through our programs, young women like Asha are becoming leaders in environmental conservation. By planting trees, they are not only restoring the environment but also improving food security, creating small-scale incomes, and becoming role models in their communities.

The Ripple Effect

What begins as one seedling in the ground becomes:

• 20+ kilograms of fruit per year
• A cooler classroom or home compound
• A reduced carbon footprint
• A symbol of hope

Communities thrive when youth are involved in growing what sustains them. And it often starts with one simple, intentional act: planting a tree.

You Can Be Part of This Growth

Whether you’re a teacher, parent, donor, or volunteer — you can support this green movement. Sponsor a tree, fund a school orchard, or simply share our story.

Because one tree can change a life. One girl can change the world.
