Our work in Uganda<\/h1>\n\n\n

We support the many refugees, who have fled South Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo due to continued armed conflict and poverty, as well as the marginalized host communities welcoming refugees to become self sufficient and co-exist peacefully.

Often referred to as the Pearl of Africa<\/em> for its breathtaking landscapes, warm people, and rich biodiversity, Uganda is a country of beauty and resilience. Yet, the climate crisis, increasing pressure on natural resources, and unequal access to land \u2014 challenges that disproportionately affect women \u2014 are placing growing strain on its fertile land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Uganda is considered politically stable, concerns are mounting over shrinking civic space and tighter legal restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting Refugees and Strengthening Communities in Uganda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In collaboration with our partners, we support refugees \u2014 particularly youth and women \u2014 with both immediate humanitarian aid and sustainable, long-term solutions. We provide green livelihood opportunities through vocational training and agricultural skills development, enabling people to form cooperative groups for mutual support and collective growth. Strengthening the link between farmers and markets is a central part of our work, ensuring that livelihoods are not only restored but also viable in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also engage with teachers to enhance the quality of education, creating lasting improvements in Uganda\u2019s education system and giving young people the tools they need to shape their own futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Agriculture is important in our country and it is already being badly affected. If we start really acting now we can reach targets for keeping global warming under 1.5\u00b0C otherwise the signs are bad. It is a global crisis and anything that happens to Africa is likely to affect other nations in some way. We need leaders to turn their words into action.<\/em><\/p>\nPatience Nabukalu
