Our Background
The Initiative for Green Planet founded in 2022 by four inspiring university students of Makerere University Kampala embodies a profound commitment to combatting global environmental, climate and human rights challenges, having witnessed the distressing transformation of the natural world we cherished, we were driven by ecological grief to take action against deforestation and climate change. Today, the Initiative for Green Planet is a beacon of hope, nurturing a new generation of environmentally conscious individuals through experimental learning and nature based solutions.
Fueled by a deep passion for conservation, the Initiative for Green Planet goes beyond itself, aiming to make the world better for everyone, now and in the future. This is inspired by the belief that we are responsible for our planet, and by working together, we can create a greener, more sustainable future for all.
The initiative focuses on mentoring young children to be climate conscious, establishing food forests in school, carrying out environmental education to school children, planting trees for birthdays and special occasions, capacity building and eco projects for communities, and creating awareness on climate change to the general public.
Who we are
Initiative For Green Planet (IGP) is non-profit youth-led organization that focuses on good governance of natural resources through lobbying, research, policy initiatives, community education, and Law through public interest litigation. IGP works with youth and local communities to ensure that natural resources are utilized in an equitable and lawful way that respects all the inherent human rights.
Our motivation behind starting this organization stems from a deep belief in the interconnectedness of people and the planet. We strive to create a more sustainable future for all, where the planet is valued and protected.
