We are planting our balance
The Rotary Club of Kampala Naalya has embarked on a tree-planting drive under the Plant Your Balance campaign. This is one of the multi-district initiatives to promote ecological balance and protect the environment.
The idea behind the “Plant Your Balance” campaign is for each Rotary Club to subtract the years of their existence from Rotary’s 100 years in Africa and then multiply by a hundred. The result is the number of trees that each club will plant in the next three years.
The Rotary Club of Kampala-Naalya was chartered in 2012, implying that the club has now been in existence for 12 years. Subtracted from 100, will give the club a total of 88 which has to be multiplied by 100 to give the club a a total of 8800 to be planted under the initiative.
The tree planting will be launched at St Mbaaga Tuziinde Primary School in Kiwatule on Thursday, September 26, followed by another day of activities at New Hope Charity School in Kamuli on September 27, 2024.
The two schools are hosted in communities in which the Rotary Club of Kampala-Naalya is implementing Basic Education and Literacy activities.
Rotary is committed to supporting activities that strengthen the conservation and protection of natural resources, advance ecological sustainability, and foster harmony between communities and the environment. The organisation empowers communities to access grants and other resources, embrace local solutions, and spur innovation to address the causes and reduce the effects of climate change and environmental degradation.
