Sustainable growth for the future
Save a Seed for the Future (SAFE) is an integrated non-governmental organization operating in the Teso sub-region of Northeastern Uganda with a main office in Soroti town. We were founded in 2010 and have been registered with the Ugandan National NGO Board since December 2012.
We are committed to sustainable development and believe in the importance of educating students on environmentally friendly income generating activities. SAFE currently works in a variety of program areas: tree-planting in local schools, implementing energy saving technologies in rural areas of Northeastern Uganda, environmental conservation, health education, and promoting peace and good governance at the local level. SAFE also runs skills-based training programs in Soroti and has educated more than 200 students in basic skills of carpentry, welding, and tailoring since 2016. We have also partnered with external researchers for survey research, focus group discussions, and community training across Soroti District.
Our mission is to help build a safer and more sustainable world for humanity, and we are grateful to our partners for enabling us to do our work:
