Women Initiative Gambia completed a tree planting program on Sunday across schools in the Central River Region North. The organization planted 960 trees at upper basic and senior secondary schools through its Reforest the Future initiative. Students received training to monitor tree growth and establish environmental clubs focused on climate protection. The program aims to restore forest coverage while teaching young people about sustainability.
Executive Director Isatou Ceesay said the effort encourages students to care for individual trees and understand environmental stewardship. The trees will provide shade and windbreaks while improving public health conditions. Women Initiative Gambia operates recycling programs that convert plastic waste into products, while also supporting agricultural training. School principals pledged to maintain the planted trees and continue building environmental awareness among youth.
