Trinity Forestry Svcs: One Million Trees, Uganda

Donation protected

April 17, 2021: Launching a One Million Tree Campaign!




From late 2019 to mid-2020, the Trinity Forestry Services team trained 48 young people and widows in urban farming. They build demonstration gardens and teach the residents how to use found plastic containers and sacks as growing containers.

Trinity is excited to continue expanding their efforts to even more people. They use a simple model of training one person, who then is commissioned to train five more within the month. 

For families that live in these areas during the pandemic, life has become even more difficult. Being able to provide nutritious food for families, earn some pocket money, and work together to create a brighter future are now more important than ever. 

Trinity Forestry Services provides forestry and tree-planting services, as well as community projects.

Our goal of raising $1,000 for the Trinity team will provide options to respond to ever-evolving needs including:
- Computers
- Smartphones with cameras
- Access to the internet and data
- Website
- Seeds
- Tools
- Transportation

The Trinity team is demonstrating caring and belief in restoring the prospects of the forgotten, the poorest of the poor. 

Please join us to be part of the movement to empower the residents of these neglected areas in living to their fullest potential and experiencing the joy of growing food in their own community.

We launched this GoFundMe to raise money for one of the teams participating in the 2020 International Climate Action Challenge.
