A tree nursery in Lira City, Uganda, has significantly expanded its operations thanks to solar-powered irrigation financed by Equity Bank. Dopla Tree Nurseries, founded in 2019, has evolved from a small home-based business into a key supplier of tree seedlings for the region. The solar irrigation system has enabled increased production and supports climate-resilient agricultural practices. This investment allows the nursery to meet growing local demand for seedlings. The project demonstrates a successful model for empowering local businesses and promoting sustainable farming. Equity Bank’s funding has been instrumental in this transformation, fostering economic growth within the community. The initiative highlights the potential of renewable energy in bolstering agricultural development in Uganda.
