Artist's impressionThree members of the family belong to the Uganda Bamboo Association. The plan is to plant up to 10 acres with bamboo alone, and to grow more alongside the other projects.
Bamboo grows quickly and is harvested in cycles. It can build beautiful buildings, including the planned eco-lodge, and supply a small workshop making furniture for the town, along with energy and feed for livestock.
