We recently visited Sipi Falls for a midterm retreat, a tradition that gives our interns time to step away from project work and experience Uganda through travel and cultural sites.

Kwepena – the Ugandan art of dodging! 🇺🇬
Two throwers stand ~5m apart, one dodger in the middle weaves back and forth to avoid getting hit. Pure childhood fun turned cultural gem!

We bring games like this to life for our FOSCOD interns in Jinja, creating real cultural immersion.

Incredible transformation at Kalagala UMEA Primary School! Students who once depended on charcoal burning are now leading conservation efforts through their Environment Club. This is what environmental education can achieve.

[Foundation for Sustainable Community based Dev't @foscoduganda]

During our monitoring and evaluation visit of our tree planting initiative, every tree was thriving, beautifully maintained by dedicated young conservationists. The campus is visibly greener & students are becoming environmental ambassadors in their communities.

[Foundation for Sustainable Community based Dev't @foscoduganda]

Together we've built a renewable-energy cooking stove, established a School Environment Club, and delivered sanitation & hygiene education.

We celebrate Johnhill S.S. for nurturing young, responsible leaders and we wish all candidates success and wisdom in their upcoming exams!

Last Friday, we joined Johnhill Secondary School to bless S4 & S6 candidates preparing for final exams and to celebrate a year of meaningful collaboration with our Global Learning Exchange interns.

Our protected spring project transformed daily life. Families now have reliable, safe water close to home. Even with a repaired borehole nearby, the community chooses the spring for accessibility & cleaner water. When communities have options, they choose what works best #WASH

From brainstorming to drafting, our projects team is preparing proposals for new environmental sustainability grants. Every idea brings us closer to creating sustainable cleaner, greener and empowered communities

Higher earnings=larger savings contributions, reliable payments, stronger group funds, and more business loans! When women earn more, they save more. When they save more, everyone benefits

In Kyambogo Village, FOSCOD is empowering women through savings and eco-friendly business loans. Our partnership with Women Rising for Africa's Women on Wheels program provided 6 e-bikes to the Basooka Kwaavula Women Group—boosting incomes and mobility! #WomenEmpowerment

[Foundation for Sustainable Community based Dev't @foscoduganda]

With these e-bikes, members are thriving! Jane's daily milk sales increased 200% using clean transportation that costs less than fuel alternatives. This eco-friendly income boost goes directly into their Village Savings & Lending Association, strengthening the entire group!
