Kampala, Uganda | NOW THEN DIGITAL — Ugandan fashion model and environmentalist Judith Heard is making a significant impact beyond the fashion industry. Through her foundation, the Judith Heard Foundation (JHF), she launched the “50 Million Trees for Africa” campaign in schools. This initiative, focused on sustainable development and ecological awareness among youth, starts with educational institutions across Africa.

At Kasangati High School in Gayaza, Judith planted signature trees to kick-start the campaign, engaging with students to emphasize the importance of nature conservation and addressing climate change challenges. Her vision extends beyond education; she envisions a future where every child actively participates in preserving the environment. By instilling a sense of responsibility and appreciation for nature in the next generation, Judith believes we can pave the way for a more sustainable coexistence with the planet.

She then visited the Kasangati Town Council community, meeting with local leaders to monitor the progress of the trees planted a year ago. According to Muhumuza Brian, a publicist at Bryan Morel Publications, Judith is passionate about her cause and is mobilizing a call-to-action, seeking partnerships with governments, leaders, international organizations, and the public to bring the afforestation movement to life and achieve a greener world by 2050.

The JHF’s “50 Million Trees for Africa Campaign in Schools” aims to cultivate environmentally conscious leaders and drive social and environmental solutions, starting at the educational grassroots. This visionary project addresses deforestation and climate change, creating green spaces that serve as educational hubs for environmental stewardship.

The campaign includes comprehensive educational workshops in participating schools, integrating environmental sustainability into the curriculum. Tree planting events with local communities and technology integration for tracking tree growth and impact are also planned.
