Project Description
After the visible successes of recent years, Magic to the World e.V. from Germany partnered with the swiss-based NGO ON A MISSION to continue our tree planting cooperation with Uganda-based CBO ISCOT in the Madi Opei region in northern Uganda in spring 2025. Distributing a total of 40,000 seedlings to village communities, farmers and schools in the region. Our long-term plan for the project is to push for a continuous increase in the number of seedlings grown and distributed.
Stakeholders and local communities involved in the project
ON A MISSION provides the funding for the project. ISCOT, an NGO from Uganda, manages the ground work in the region. Magic to the World e.V. from Germany does the documentation and financial management.
Local farmers are beneficiaries of the project as they prepare their gardens accordingly and can apply for further support with seedlings in following years.
Project Goals
We work closely with our local partner ISCOT and rely on their good connection with local farmers and communities. The goal is to motivate as many farmers as possible to make their land availabe for reforestation and see the long-term benfeits in stabilizing the local climate.
Co-benefits
Engagement with the local communities, creating labour in the region and sensitisation for the cause and effect of climate change and what to do to stabilize the local climate patterns.
Also the fruit trees will bring additional food supply in some years.
