Fossil fuels kill over a million people worldwide every year through air pollution alone. Solar pollutes nothing. That stood out at #RepowerAfrika 2nd anniversary in Kyakabooga and Uganda's Constitution backs the right to peacefully demand a shift to clean energy.

What happens when an oil🛢️ pipeline cuts through communities rebuilding their lives?

For Ketura and fellow women 🍯🐝beekeepers in Hoima, years of hard work and renewed hope were put at risk once again.

Read their story in the 🖼️below.

From seedlings to a thriving community space. A few years ago, we planted trees as a pilot initiative in Kyakaboga Resettlement Village. Today, they provide shade, comfort, and a welcoming space for community engagement. A simple act that continues to grow in impact.

Communities know what they need. Through #RepowerAfrikaAt2 in Kyakabooga, grassroots communities call for solar and biogas as sustainable energy solutions. A just energy transition begins by listening to community voices. Read more below. https://t.co/Ka3MPehSZg

"The Nation grid power is very expensive to install and manage among grassroots communities in Africa, that is why there is need to transition to the clean affordable solar energy that has zero maintainence cost once installed." Says @stephenokwai2 during the #RepowerAfrikaAt2

Oweki Girafel, Chair of Nyakasinina Horticulture Group,spoke.
They started with no training in fish rearing or vegetable growing & lack irrigation tools & land to expand the pond. Fish theft shrank their membership but they're pushing forward. They need training &support to grow.

[Nature Talk Africa (NaTA) @NatureTalk_A]

This week,NaTA organized a peer-to-peer learning exchange for self-help groups from Nzorobi, Nyakasinina, Kataba and Nyahaira to share experiences as they adapt to a changing climate. 30 participants with a goal to protect environment through sustainable, community-led projects.

Empowering women in leadership and socio-economic skills as part of the Community chapters project is a sole role and responsibility we ought to achieve. The power that lies in strategic organizing is one led by women supported by men and sustained by active youth. #Womeninpower

[Oil Refinery Residents Association (ORRA) @RefineryOil]

We appreciate @AfiegoUg for bringing EACOP-affected communities from Masaka for a community exchange visit with the Kyakaboga Refinery PAPs. The visit fostered peer learning, experience sharing, and stronger community collaboration. #CommunityExchange #EACOP #PeerLearning

[Nature Talk Africa (NaTA) @NatureTalk_A]

With trust as their bond, Nyakasinina Horticulture savings group continues to meet every week to pool their weekly contributions.
In a quiet corner of the community, records are kept and trust is upheld. Together, building community resilience. #CommunityResilience

[Oil Refinery Residents Association (ORRA) @RefineryOil]

Conservation succeeds when communities lead. Empowering people today protects our environment for generations to come. #ClimateResilienceBuilding Together, we're turning local action into lasting impact. #Sustainability

Fossil fuels are keeping Africa in the dark and driving up our bills.  We demand localized, affordable solar and wind energy for ALL households. Power to the people, not the polluters! #AfrikaVuka #AffordableEnergyNow

[Nature Talk Africa (NaTA) @NatureTalk_A]

This is what #AfrikaVuka looks like on the ground. Communities from the Albertine region gathered at The People's Tribunal demanding justice, reparations, and an end to fossil fuel expansion that has cost them their livelihoods.#PowerThePeople #StopEACOP #KickPollutersOutOfAfrica
