Project story
People in our communities are currently being faced with the problems of floods,
desertification effects due to deforestation and epidemic diseases due to water and air
pollution. All these originate from lack of knowledge and ignorance about environmental
protection as most of the communities are involved in bush burning, charcoal burning,
firewood others urinate and defecate in water bodies. This global warming has
also led to changes in the weather conditions where the time for which certain
weather is expected is changed. This has resulted into continue destruction of
crops by sunshine hence leading to hunger. As a result, there is much
occurrences of malnutrition amongst women children, expectant and lactating
mothers.
Alongside the issues of Uganda’s struggles in the areas of poverty, technology, education,
and violence. Land degradation, water pollution, and deforestation are also massive issues
in the nation. With a third of Uganda being unable to gain access to water, it is a country
on the edge of a water crisis. This makes water pollution much more alarming, as the
geographical setting of Uganda makes it difficult to access water; we must do everything we
can to resolve these environmental issues as fast as we can.
Over 80% of Uganda’s population relies directly on environmental resources for their
livelihoods.
Around 96% of the needy population in Uganda live in the country regions. As indicated
by people facing poverty, the nature of regular assets is declining; soil richness and
efficiency of land, exhaustion of fish stocks, wetland infringement, as well as recovery and
contamination of water assets. Normal property assets for development or touching are
declining. Restricted admittance to land is the second most referred reason for neediness,
and the poor population perceive that the rich are overseeing ecological assets.
