Violence against women and girls is a barrier to ending poverty, in a home where there is violence, development is very uncertain. Girls miss out on attending school among other opportunities. Lets break the cycle of violence. SAY NO TO GBV. #16DaysOfActivism2024

Students matching in Hoima City, Uganda, recently in support of environmental protection, conservation and climate justice. We all should NOTE that without full involvement and participation of the youth, attaining Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will remain just a dream.

Allan Kalangi of AIBIS (R) with some youth volunteers at the AIBIS Agroecological Farm in Kyankwanzi District. Growing vegetables is one of the ways of mitigating negative effects of climate change because they grow fast and even during the dry spells, they are easy to irrigate.

Agroecology is the way to go

Growing healthy plants at the AIBIS Agroecology Demonstration Farm in Kyankwanzi District using only organic manure and no agrochemicals. Mulching is used to keep moisture in the soil, this area being in Uganda's dry corridor. Weeds sprouting through the mulch are picked by hand.
