The shared love for preserving nature and equipping youth with valuable farming skills began in 2019 when Stanbic Uganda teamed up with Roofings Group to hand out free tree seedlings to various high school students participating in the National Schools Championship. The re greening initiative was geared towards imparting skills that students could effectively employ to create self-sustaining sources of income for themselves in the future.

Roofings Group has so far handed over 20,000 free seedlings to Stanbic to facilitate the regreening project under the National Schools Championship.

Under the Forever Forestry Initiative, Roofings Group continues to partner with likeminded individuals and organisations towards the preservation and creation of a sustainable environment
