KASESE, UGANDA- Hima Cement has renewed its partnership with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to protect River Mubuku catchment area through planting of trees and promoting safer agricultural practices amongst farmers along the river.
The partnership between Hima Cement and WWF started in 2014 for protection and management of River Mubuku catchment area. The new MoU that has been signed is for the payment of watershed services schemes for protection of the same catchment.
It also aims at providing environmental education awareness, and enhances access to renewable energy technologies and energy conservation as well as maintenance of ecosystem services.
