The project will improve management of the existing tree-nursery; purchase and distribute water tanks for rain-water harvesting at household level; pilot the use of solar ovens as an alternative to firewood; purchase audio-visual equipment for environmental education and training community members; and visit similar projects in Uganda and Tanzania to learn from their experiences.
