Magic to Uganda in 2023 – up to 20,000 seedlings for the Padibe and Madi Opei region

Since 2019, we have been working with our partner organization ISCOT to ensure that communities, farmers and schools in the Madi Opei and Padibe regions (Lamwo District) in northern Uganda receive seedlings for
reforestation in time for the start of the rainy season.

Back in December, Jimmy and nursery owner Joel commissioned the raising of 10,000 seedlings of teak, mahogany, eucalyptus and jackfruit species. Through your donations over the past few weeks, we have
already been able to increase that number to 15,000 paid seedlings, for which we want to say thank you!

On our project page Magic to Uganda (’23) you will find further information about our projects this year, as well as an outlook on the coming years. For as little as 0.50 € per seedling, we can raise a seedling in the Madi Opei region, distribute it to local farmers and accompany its growth over the next few years. Each of the young trees has the potential to bind up to 10kg of CO2 per year.

Like last year, MttW members will travel to Uganda again this year to support Jimmy and Joel in the north of Uganda in the period from 22.04. to 06.05.2023 with this year’s distribution of seedlings. As always, we
will pay for all expenses during the trip ourselves, so that 100% of the donations go to the project! Please check us out on Facebook and Instagram in the next weeks!
