Landslides, floods and drought arrive every year. We help communities map the risk, agree what to do, and protect health while they do it.
Strengthen community resilience and preparedness systems for climate-related health and livelihood risks.
Uganda's highlands and floodplains face landslides, floods and drought that are worsening with climate change - and smoke from cooking fires adds a daily, indoor health risk. We work through VHTs, local councils and schools so preparedness is a community habit, not a project document.
Practical measures at household level that reduce exposure to smoke, unsafe water and extreme weather.
Safe water, hygiene promotion and local readiness for floods and landslides.
Tree planting, waste management and environmental action led by community groups and schools.
Household practices that hold up when a season fails, linked to our livelihoods programme.
Programme impact
Landslide slopes, flood zones and lightning hotspots identified with the people who live beside them.
Less smoke in the kitchen means less eye irritation and fewer respiratory infections.
Village early warning linked to district disaster management committees, so a signal becomes a response.
Hazard maps, safe water and clean cooking are inexpensive. Recovering from a flood is not.
