The communities of Lake Victoria are among the most environmentally vulnerable in Uganda. Rising water levels, erosion, declining fish stocks, and poor waste management are reshaping life on the islands in ways that directly threaten health, livelihoods, and food security. These communities did the least to cause climate change. They are among the first to live with its consequences.
Environmental health and human health cannot be separated on the islands. When the lake is polluted, drinking water becomes dangerous. When fishing grounds shrink, food security weakens. When waste is not managed, disease spreads. RAHI addresses these connections directly.
RAHI runs community awareness meetings on climate resilience, conservation, and sustainable livelihoods. We bring together community members, local leaders, and environmental advocates to discuss the changes they are already seeing and the practical steps they can take to protect their environment and adapt to what is coming.
We promote improved waste management practices, sustainable fishing, and land stewardship. Community members who attend our sessions leave with both the knowledge and the motivation to lead environmental change in their own households and villages.
Your support funds the community meetings, awareness campaigns, and environmental education that help island families build resilience for the future.
