We are engaging

the young people

to close the loop for

a sustainable Karamoja.

We are an environmentally passionate organization founded on ideals
of youth voluntarism. We work through local structures like sub counties,
district, community groups and traditional institutions to engage in climate change,
resilience, green growth, environment protection, SDGs, and youth empowerment

The problem:

Karamoja is a region where climate change intersects with conflict and poverty; with women and youth more negatively impacted

Karamoja is the driest and poorest region of Uganda. It is affected by climate change and drought, which is leading to soil depletion, environmental degradation, and poor harvests.

The region with the total forest cover of 367, 450 hectares lost over half of the forests due to massive tree cutting, bush fires, settlements and grazing. It is estimated that by 2050, there will be a 0.3-2.8°C increase in temperature, resulting into increased incidences of extreme weather (drought and flooding)
