THE government’s campaign to plant I.5 million trees every year has received a boost after Jubilee Insurance in collaboration with Dar es Salaam’s Mikumi Primary School and Mzimuni Primary School jointly plant 400 tree seedlings in the school’s premises to support the movement.
Gracing the event in the city recently, Dr. Harold Adamson, Jubilee Health Tanzania CEO, said the organisation has strengthened its dedication to environmental conservation through its innovative Net Zero campaign.
He further noted that the program emphasizes at planting a variety of trees, including fruit, medicinal, and shade trees, to improve air quality, foster educational environments, and complement the government's reforestation initiatives.
"We remain deeply committed to environmental sustainability through our Net Zero campaign, which not only enhances ecosystems but also motivates young minds by integrating tree-planting efforts into their learning environments," he said.
Helena Mzena, Jubilee Life Tanzania CEO, said that the organisation has emphasized its focus on environmental care through the campaign centered on planting different types of trees that purify the air, create supportive learning environments, and advance government-led reforestation efforts.
"Our Net Zero campaign is about more than planting trees; it’s a step toward cleaner air, greener spaces, and a brighter future for our communities," she said.This year alone, Jubilee Insurance planted over 600 trees across three schools, with each institution receiving 200 trees.
Seemingly, September this year, Jubilee Insurance in collaboration with Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) planted 200 tree seedlings at Madenge Primary school.
Looking ahead, the company plans to expand the project to additional schools by 2025, ensuring a lasting impact on both the environment and student engagement in ecological studies.
