Science determines where we focus and equity guides how we achieve lasting results.

WHAT WE DO
Bring the world to

Tree Planting
Our core program involves partnering with schools across Uganda to establish tree nurseries and facilitate tree planting activities. We prioritize fruit trees to contribute to nutrition and food security, and medicinal trees to promote traditional knowledge and healthcare. Students are actively involved in every step, from seedling care to planting and monitoring, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility.
Eco-Tourism
We believe that responsible tourism can be a powerful tool for conservation. Waka Natures supports and promotes eco-tourism initiatives that highlight Uganda's natural beauty while ensuring minimal environmental impact and providing benefits to local communities. By connecting people with nature, we aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for its value and the need for its protection.
