Uganda’s Little Hands Go Green initiative will this Sunday celebrate its 10th anniversary.
The celebrations will be at Kololo Airstrip and each child will walk away with a fruit tree seedling. This year’s theme is “Celebrating a decade of green climate action”.
According to the founder and CEO Joseph Masembe, the Purpose of the #GreenFestival is to emphasize green education in children in order to create positive change for the future.
“We will not be known to just plant trees. We want to make sure the trees grow. We want to ensure the cause gets to where we want it to go,” Masembe said.
“We shall reward all children that have managed to take care of the trees we gave them with green certificates, tree tags, and prizes. We are sure these rewards will be worth the children’s efforts towards taking charge of their environment,” he added.
The event will feature several fun activities.
