Under this project, we are looking at clean air for human consumption, environmental protection and conservation alongside keeping the legacy Mutebile alive,\u201d Dr Tweheyo told.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, TMF aims at promoting private sector growth in Uganda and Sub Saharan Africa by providing transformative solutions to society problems like climate change in a competitive global economy.<\/p>\n<p>Still on Monday, Kishanje Highland School head teacher Martin Akampurira, the estates manager for Kigezi High School Roland Basheija, Bukinda SSS deputy head teacher Pafura Twinomujuni and the head of agriculture at St Barnabas Karujanga Peter Twongyeirwe offered to embrace TMF\u2019s tree planting drive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of us have big chunks of land on which we can plant forestry trees such as the eucalyptus trees that act as windbreaks to protect school structure from destruction by heavy winds and also provide fuel wood that is highly needed for preparing students meals,\u201d Akampurira highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>He added that if the government can borrow a leaf from the foundation\u2019s strategy of conserving the threatened environment, cases of deadly landslides, erosion and hails storms would become history.<\/p>\n<p><b>FYI<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In June 2023, the TMF members led by Mutebile\u2019s widow (Betty Mutebile) and the foundation\u2019s Chief Executive Officer Ednar Nyakaisiki launched programs of constructing a Shs1billion dialysis unit at Rugarama Hospital in Kabale Town.<\/p>\n<p>TMF also announced community programs that included a Shs120million tree planting project aimed at environmental protection targeting five pioneer secondary schools in the Kabale District, Mutebile\u2019s ancestral village.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
