Why We are Growing More Shea Trees

Naturally, Okere is rich. It is one of the few parts of Uganda where Shea nut butter trees grow with ease. The locals had never known the treasure they beheld. The need for quick cash saw them cut down the trees for charcoal.  But we are on a mission to reverse that negative history and trajectory.

Donate to help conserve Shea trees

Illegal Shea tree cutting and other threats to Shea trees in Otuke such as illegal bush fires and expansion of agricultural land have resulted to more than half of the Shea trees that once covered and breathed life into the region have been depleted. If Shea's re-afforestation efforts are not introduced and expanded, extinction abounds. That's why we are on a mission to regenerate 1M shea seedlings. And we need your support!
