The activities in the Farmer […]
Nature has always been the most sensitive of mirrors. It reflects what happens around us by showing responses to whatever humans do. For example, cut the trees as much as you want and you will be surprised by how much worse the flood is when it comes to the rainy season, how much it […]

And that makes sense, because the wood […]

Personally and very closely […]
It has been the first time that our dear colleague Susanne, project manager at Fairventures Worldwide, visited the project area in Uganda. Together with Johannes and a team that had arrived from Germany in the meantime, the journey continued from Kampala to Hoima to the Sankt […]
Current tendencies of environmental degradation in Western Uganda constitute a serious risk with regards to the economic situation and in some areas could even threaten already achieved social, economic and environmental development results. The project seeks to establish a curriculum for environmental training with a focus on afforestation, reforestation, and agroforestry at two technical vocational training […]
