🦺 SAFETY TIP TUESDAY

When you’re on the water, make your life jacket part of your essential gear.

Wearing a life jacket is one simple but important step towards staying safe while fishing, travelling or working on the River Nile.

Through our community engagements, UEGCL continues to promote awareness and encourage safer practices among communities along the river.

Stay alert. Stay equipped. Stay safe.

For 25 years, beyond generating electricity, we’ve been helping power better lives. ⚡

Working alongside the @MEMD_Uganda (Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development), UEGCL is contributing to stronger communities around our power plants, supporting better infrastructure, education, healthcare and new opportunities.

At Karuma, a health facility built through our community development efforts is bringing essential healthcare closer to a community that once had none.
