Schools are at the heart of the Atari Project. Through improved cooking technologies, we are creating healthier learning environments while inspiring young people to become champions of environmental conservation. We have transformed kitchens.
#TreePlanting#EnergySavingStoves
🌳 Tree planting activities have been implemented in schools and communities as action to restore tree cover, improve biodiversity, and create sustainable sources of timber, fruit, and fuelwood for future generations.
Building resilient communities, one step at a time.
CORE in partnership with JICA is implementing the Atari Irrigation Scheme Resilience Project in Bulambuli and Kween districts. The project strengthens livelihoods while promoting environmental conservation.
At CORE, we have empowered farmers in Luwero with advanced farming skills for maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, and beans. By improving productivity on existing farmland, farmers have increased yields, strengthened food security, and improved thier lives. #SustainableAgriculture
Stakeholder engagement meetings with district leaders in Nakasongola District focused on ensuring the sustainability of the establishment projects.

Good people, if we religiously followed the simple rules and checks, we would cut road crashes and fatalities by far!
Let’s not be in a rush to reach, plan your journey ahead and drive safely! Happy holiday!🙏🏾

Today, we are reminded of the quiet humility of Jesus Christ. He chose service over status.
He was the greatest of them all but chose to be low.
In our daily work, it’s a simple but powerful call: to listen more, to serve genuinely, and to put others first.

Did you know that trees are nature's ultimate air conditioners? 🌳🍃 They can drop local temperatures by up to 10°C (or more in some spots!) and create cooling breezes that reach forests miles away! 🌡️🌲
But that's just the start—trees are absolute superheroes at pulling CO2 from the air and locking it away safely in their trunks, roots, and soil. 🦸♂️🌳 Thanks to this powerhouse combo of shade, moisture magic, and carbon storage, forests are keeping our planet's average temperature more than 1°C cooler than it would be otherwise! 🌍🍃
Ready to join the fight against scorching heat? Plant trees like crazy! 🌳🌳🌳 You'll help battle rising temps, slash your energy bills with natural shade, and turn blazing summers into chill vibes. 🌞❄️💰
Every single tree you plant pushes us toward a cooler, fresher world. Dig in and make it happen! 🪴🌏
