Okere City, in partnership with Hope Smiles, hosted a free dental camp that delivered essential oral health services to communities in Otuke and neighbouring districts. Over the course of the four-day outreach, more than 500 people accessed professional dental care — many seeking help for long-standing and untreated dental conditions.

In Okere, the shea tree is powering a new community-led carbon credit journey. Farmers are learning that the trees they protect and nurture can store carbon - and create real income. With clear mapping, training, and transparent monitoring, Okere is turning shea conservation into both climate action and opportunity.
