Climate change is a daily survival test in Karamoja.
On Sept 5th–6th, our team at @GreenFosterActUG & @Roots_Rights visited pastoralist communities in Nabilatuk & Namalu. Families have gone 4 months without rain, scorching crops like sorghum and sunflower
We listened to their stories and delivered direct food relief supplies to families facing severe hardship. Karamoja contributes the least to global emissions yet suffers the most. Supporting them isn't charity—it's climate justice.
We are committed to standing alongside the Manyattas through dialogue, education, and action toward a climate-resilient future.

Fossil fuel companies like @TotalEnergies often tout development, yet decades of oil extraction in Global South countries have not lifted communities out of poverty. The reality is pollution, loss of livelihoods, environmental degradation, and climate change. #KickPollutersOut!
Africa cannot develop on energy that everyday people cannot afford! Right now, our communities are choosing between buying food and paying skyrocketing energy bills driven by volatile fossil fuels.

Uganda is the 14th most climate-vulnerable country (World Bank data). Yet its development plan underplays climate risks. IEEFA report suggests an alternative pathway: invest in climate-resilient industrialisation, agricultural value addition, and modern energy access. #StopEACOP!
In partnership with the XR Justice Movement Uganda, we engaged in a five day boot camp with youth & frontline activists from 9 African countries & Global North allies. We centered grassroots voices for collective learning & to develop joint climate actions.

It's not about cutting emissions; Africa has no emissions to cut, but emissions to avoid. How do we develop in a way that avoids emissions? That's why adaptation is key for this continent. #PeoplesAssemblyACS2 #JustTransitionRising #StopEACOP!

Today 5/09/2025 .@GreFa_Ug in partnership with .@KCCAUG and local Leaders of Makerere Kivulu conducted a Community Clean Up to create awareness in community about clean safe spaces.
@ACTogetherUG @KnowYourCityTV
Today, the power of community stewardship was on full display. GreFA was honored to stand alongside the residents of Makerere Kivulu I, Kivulu II in Kawempe and the Industrial Area for a massive clean-up exercise.
We were overwhelmed by massive turn up of the residents.
Bright Generation Goes Green with GreFA
Today, we had an amazing time at Bright Generation Nursery & Primary School, Kalisizo District, where 200+ young eco-champions learned, planted, and pledged to protect our planet
Highlights of the day included:
✅ 10 new trees
1/3
planted for cleaner air
✅ Dustbins donated to promote proper waste disposal
✅ Watering cans given so kids can nurture their trees
Every child's excitement reminded us: the future is green, and it starts with education + action
"The tree you water today is the air you
2/3
breathe tomorrow." - Bridget Nabwire, GreFA

We stand in Solidarity with the arrested and remanded activists and call for their immediate release. The Ugandan authorities should stop all acts of stopping dissenting voices.

The same way, the controversial #EACOP pipeline is forced on communities in UG & TZ with promises of economic growth. However, Angola shows the reality: oil profits benefit only a select few, while most face a rising cost of living. This is not development; it's exploitation.
Angola is a major oil exporter, yet its citizens are dying in protests over a fuel price hike. This is the ultimate hypocrisy of fossil fuels: oil wealth does not equate to prosperity for the people; if anything, it creates instability. #StopEACOP
