We address pressing challenges such as climate change, pollution, deforestation, and rapid urbanization by empowering young people to lead bold, innovative solutions for a sustainable future.
What We Stand For
Our work is driven by a clear purpose and a shared commitment to protecting the environment while empowering young people to lead change.

To empower young Ugandans to become active agents of environmental change through action-driven initiatives, digital advocacy, and sustainable solutions that protect our planet for present and future generations.
Our Vision
A greener, cleaner, and climate-resilient Uganda where young people lead environmental protection and sustainable development efforts.
What We Do
At Youth For Earth Uganda, we turn ideas into action. Through targeted initiatives, we empower young people and communities to protect the environment, reduce pollution, embrace clean energy, and restore ecosystems. Each of our programs is designed to create measurable impact while inspiring sustainable change across Uganda.
ONE
Pollution Reduction
We address pollution in urban and peri-urban areas through clean-up campaigns, awareness programs, and community engagement initiatives that promote responsible waste management and environmental accountability.
TWO
Environmental Advocacy
We leverage digital platforms to educate, mobilize, and amplify youth voices on environmental issues. Through online campaigns, storytelling, and data-driven advocacy, we engage communities and inspire positive environmental behavior.
THREE
Clean Energy Promotion
We advocate for the adoption of clean and renewable energy solutions as a pathway to reducing carbon emissions, improving public health, and supporting sustainable livelihoods.
FOUR
Ecosystem Restoration
We promote tree planting and ecosystem restoration initiatives aimed at combating climate change, enhancing urban green spaces, restoring degraded environments, and building climate resilience in communities.
Our Flagship Initiative:
The Two Million Trees Campaign
Our flagship initiative is an ambitious campaign to plant two million trees across Uganda’s major cities. This initiative aims to combat climate change, improve air quality, restore urban ecosystems, and promote environmental awareness among young people and communities. By focusing on urban centers, we are addressing the growing environmental pressure caused by rapid urbanization while creating greener, healthier cities for all.
