Kigamboni, March–June 2025
The Green Africa Tree Planting Campaign was implemented by ATI in collaboration with United Bank for Africa (UBA) across three schools in Kigamboni District, Dar es Salaam, between March and June 2025.
Its objectives were to promote environmental conservation and climate resilience, raise awareness among students and the community about the importance of trees, and reduce the effects of deforestation by increasing green cover in school environments.
Activities included sensitisation sessions on environmental conservation, tree-planting events involving students, teachers and community leaders, and monitoring and care plans developed with school administrations for the trees to be maintained after planting.

The campaign was implemented by Africa Transformational Initiative in collaboration with United Bank for Africa, the partner organisation, as part of the Green Africa mission.
A further phase of 5,000 trees was planned from June 2025 for Peace and Love Primary School, Loyola High School and Urafiki Secondary School. Those trees are not included in the figures above.
A women-led restoration of degraded coastal mangrove ecosystem in Kigamboni District. Mangroves are a nursery for marine life, a carbon store, and the natural defence protecting the coast from erosion and storm surge. This is long-term work and it is still underway.
A planned tree-planting programme across ten primary schools in two Temeke clusters, with trees sourced from the Coast Region. This is a plan, not a confirmed project.
We would like to hear from institutions, funders and practitioners working to strengthen the systems that secure Africa's natural wealth.
