Disaster Risk Reduction and Environmental Protection

We work together with other organizations to build the resilience of communities most at-risk and reduce the risk of disasters through a community based disaster risk management approach like indigenous early warning systems, planting bamboo trees along river and lake banks, among others. We promote tree growing i.e community tree nursery management, institutional and private woodlots and natural resource governance (Land, Oil and gas etc.). We support communities to manage tree nursery and woodlots increase vegetation cover and enhance their capacity to effectively utilize the natural resources around them. We promote the use of renewable energy technologies, that is to say solar home system and improved cook stoves, we train the community members to construct improved cook stoves using local available materials so as to conserve the environment. We train the community on plastic waste recycling, raise awareness about effects of climate change, promote sustainable practices, and participate in environmental conservation initiatives, by advocating for climate action and preserving natural resources, we contribute to building a more resilient and sustainable future for generations to come in order to minimize the impact of disasters and promote environmental sustainability. We promote reforestation, afforestation, agro forestry, waste management and climate adaptation initiatives at community level.
