NNF currently has two projects in Uganda:
1. The Kibale Fuel Wood Project focuses on the scarcity of wood around Kibale National Park. The project seeks to empower locals to find alternatives for their energy needs through promoting efficient stoves and fast-growing native firewood crops, and has a substantial educational campaign that includes four village science museums, a travelling video show and yearly conservation competitions.
2. The Kibale Eco Char Initiative is working to eliminate the need for wood by creating biomass briquettes made from agricultural waste and recycled products.

As a volunteer you will be participating in all activities of both projects. These activities include manufacturing eco-briquettes, teaching students and staff at the Science Centers, assisting in building fuel efficient stoves, and whatever other current activities are happening in Uganda!
