Our Vision
A green Khartoum cared for by its residents, where trees and flowers are a natural part of every street, school and square.
About the Initiative
Who we are, why we work, and how we work.
Who We Are
Green Khartoum Organization
Khartoum Is Green is a youth-led volunteer initiative born from a simple belief: a city changes when its residents take the first step. We plant trees and flowers along main streets, in schools and in public squares, care for them as they grow, and involve the community every step of the way.
The initiative is led by a team of young volunteers from different backgrounds, united by one goal: a greener, more beautiful and healthier Khartoum.

Our journey
From a small idea… to a community initiative
-
2024
The idea
It started with a conversation between friends about the state of the streets after summer, and a simple question: why don't we start?

First volunteers
The first ten volunteers joined through friends and social media, and we agreed on the first planting site.

First tree
We planted our first neem tree on a side street. It was small, but it was the beginning.

First project
Our first complete project: the Africa Road median — 60 trees and 22 volunteers over four work days.

2026
Working with schools
We launched the school-greening programme with school administrations and students, so students themselves care for the plants.
