Ojulu Island Saviours Foundation (OISF) is a community-based organization operating on Sigulu Island in Namayingo District, Uganda. Founded in 2023, the organization is dedicated to improving the livelihoods of island communities through environmental conservation especially tree planting, clean water access, education support, health awareness, and community empowerment. OISF works closely with local residents to address challenges such as deforestation, unsafe water, climate change, and poverty. Within Sigulu Island, OISF carries out activities including tree planting and environmental restoration, promotion of clean and safe water initiatives, support for vulnerable families, climate change awareness campaigns, education support for children through scholastic materials, and promotion of clean energy solutions such as energy-saving stoves. The organization also mobilizes communities to participate in sustainable development activities.

Project story

Tree Planting Initiative for Schools in Sigulu Island, Uganda

Sigulu Island faces a climate crisis. Deforestation, soil erosion, rising temperatures, and severe winds are stripping the island bare—threatening children's health, agricultural livelihoods, and the community's future.

We're planting 50,000 trees to transform this reality.

Our initiative will restore Sigulu's environment by greening schools and community spaces. Trees will combat erosion, cool the island, purify the air, and provide shade. More importantly, they'll inspire the next generation to become environmental stewards.

What we need:

  • Quality seedlings and planting materials

  • Island transportation logistics

  • Site preparation and ongoing care

  • Community training on conservation

What we're up against:Limited resources, remote island access, and unpredictable weather. Yet our commitment remains unwavering.

Every tree planted is an investment in climate resilience and hope. With your support—whether as a donor, partner, or advocate—we can reclaim Sigulu Island's green future.

Together, we'll restore our island, one tree at a time.
