Switch Bangladesh Foundation is always concerned about climate issues in this world of heavy pollution and industrialization. Keeping this at the core, we started one of our impactful projects, planting One Tree for One Child in our schools. With this ongoing project, we organized massive tree plantations in different parts of Bangladesh with the cooperation of different clubs and organizations like the Rotary Club of Shahbag and Agami Education Foundation. This project and program are part of our metro project, Clean Bangla, Green Bangla. To make this project successful, our motto is to clean the unhealthy environment first and after that to plant trees as much as we can, to make the weather clean, to decorate the place with trees, and to participate in the Sustainable Development Goals in the long run.
