The future vision

One pledge, 3 benefits

Fight global warming

Compensate your carbon footprint by buying your own bamboo

By planting bamboo you are offsetting your CO2 or carbon emissions, the most important greenhouse gas that is causing global warming.

Give families a safe home

Let us construct sustainable bamboo houses

We use the bamboo to build safe and sustainable houses for the most vulnerable people in Uganda. Bamboo Village Uganda will host up to 200 families.

Improve lives in Uganda

Help us to create job opportunities for people in the Village.

Your contribution directly creates job opportunities. We train and employ local people at the bamboo plantation, pay them a fair salary and provide them with 2 good meals a day, prepared by local chefs. And the bamboo that we grow is used by our talented bamboo entrepreneurs, who turn them into beautiful products!
