About Company

Youth For Life Tree Planting Ltd is a youth-led social enterprise in Lira, Uganda, promoting sustainable development through agroforestry, nutrition, and community empowerment. The organization integrates tree planting with farming, climate-smart agriculture, village seed banks, and financial inclusion to boost biodiversity, food security, and income for smallholder households. Their children’s nutrition porridge—made from maize, soybeans, milk, and silver fish , addresses key nutritional gaps. Through its expert-led training and community programs, YFL empowers farmers, especially youth and women, to adopt regenerative farming and strengthen resilience.
