The purpose of the program is to contribute and enhance the natural environment surrounding the area of Nyagatare district in the Eastern Province by planting trees in the city yards, around homesteads.<\/p>\n

Youth and Children Development Center (YCDC), a newly founded NGO expect to construct premises in Nyagatare town soon. <\/p>\n

Exclusively speaking to {igihe.com}, Georgia Chadwick of the ASSIST-RWANDA noted, \u201cI launched the program in Australia via my personal face book page on June 10, asking the help of my friends. So far in Australia we have raised over US$800 for the project.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are appealing for people to purchase 1 tree or a tiny forest. The samplings have been ordered and are being nurtured at the local seed bank in Nyagatare,\u201d He added.<\/p>\n

Chadwick said that soon after his launch for the project, Gerhard heading One World Group in Germany also launched the program.<\/p>\n

He added that over 800 samplings have so far been planted on the site, and were donated by the Rwanda\u2019s Ministry of Youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tree planting program will enhance the natural environment, not only within the Youth Centre compound but also the surrounding area in Nyagatare,\u201d Chadwick outlined.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The area where the Youth Centre is located covers 5.63acres and it\u2019s a stunning piece of land that looks towards the mountains that border Uganda.<\/p>\n

Six different varieties of trees have been selected and grown in the local seed bank at the site. They were selected based on the necessary shades that they will enable the students to relax and study beneath.<\/p>\n

Thereminaliya tree, fruit bearing trees like Avocado, Mango and Orange trees will create boundaries between different facilities on the compound while also enhancing the aesthetics of the surroundings like Palm Oil, Gerveliya, Doranta, Sipwe, and Kajwarini varieties among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
