Tree Growing

We work to restore degraded areas in communities by planting indigenous and agro-forestry tree species. Our aim is to increase community resilience to persistent drought, floods, and landslides. We highlight the benefits of tree growing, map degraded areas, and identify opportunities to promote sustainable environmental practices.

Awareness and Education

We ensure effective communication and provide access to knowledge and tools to reduce vulnerability among the elderly and communities. Through brochures, radio, newsletters, and workshops, we empower older persons to become environmental ambassadors, sharing experiences and lessons learned on climate resilience.

Promoting Community Resilience

We enhance community-led actions to prepare for and respond to climate change. By improving the knowledge and skills of older persons, promoting environmental volunteerism, and creating neighbor-to-neighbor networks across Mbale District. We foster resilient communities that are accessible to all income levels.

Improving Coping Capacity

Individual Capacity

We enhance individual adaptability through wealth creation, education and outreach, skills development, and improving dwellings to better cope with climate change impacts.

Social Networks

We strengthen social connections between the older persons and the youths, families, friends, neighbors, and community institutions like religious groups, voluntary organizations, and charities.

Social Protection

We support older persons to access their pensions, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), health and social services.

Psychosocial Support
