“We believe that addressing climate risk is both a responsibility and a necessity for businesses. Through this Program, we are contributing to the preservation of Uganda’s natural resources, supporting a sustainable future for our communities and the economy,” Kimathi stated.

“Nature is a critical enabler of our economy and conserving it is integral to our corporate strategy. As a financial institution, we are committed to incorporating sustainable practices that not only protect Uganda’s natural resources but also ensure long-term economic growth,” added Patrick Kimathi.

Through the Schools Greening Program, UAP Old Mutual and My Tree Initiative are planting indigenous, medicinal and fruit trees to restore degraded land and contribute to the ecosystem’s sustainability.

Enjer Ashiraf, My Tree Initiative Organization Executive Director, commended UAP Old Mutual for partnering with them to promote environmental conservation in schools.

UAP Old Mutual Life and My Tree Initiative officials at the launch on Thursday.

“We are thankful to UAP Old Mutual Uganda for their generous partnership to spearhead this Schools Greening Program, supporting us on planting trees in schools across Uganda. The main aim of this Program is to integrate environmental education into the school curriculum, engage students in hands on tree planting activities, improve students diet and educate, empower and support the future generations to be champions of our planet.”

The Schools Greening Program aligns with UAP Old Mutual’s long-standing commitment to sustainability and is part of a larger mission to support Uganda’s natural resources and economic resilience. With students at the forefront, this initiative showcases the importance of community-driven environmental action and promises a greener, more sustainable future for Uganda. Over the past three years, the company has contributed to the planting of 20,000 trees in Mabira Forest and the Albertine region and donated nearly 40,000 seedlings.
