The school trains traditional healers in the sustainable use of natural resources.
The "Mpigi forest school", founded in 2012, aims to protect forests and raise awareness among local populations of their ecological, cultural and economic importance through the prism of traditional medicine.
Traditional healers play an important healthcare role in rural Uganda. Since its creation, the Forest school has been training them in the sustainable use of medicinal plants and the preservation of natural resources. The school encourages interaction and the sharing of knowledge around these themes, both among the community and between students and scientists.
Thanks to the "Mpigi forest school" project, Biovision and its field partner Prometra Uganda, alongside the Buyijja Traditional Healers Group, also aim to increase income and improve access to healthcare for the rural community in Uganda.
