Climate change and Environmental conservation

Climate change is a serious problem in the current era with global warming affecting most of the countries in the world and Africa and most particularly Uganda is being affected. As one way to keep the planet earth health to enable human stay, Mother of Hope Foundation Uganda has undertaken a lead in ensuring that it puts best conservation practices together with the community by planting trees, planting of bamboo and indigenous trees around Nyamwamba to support water catchment and control flooding, control of wastes majorly solid waste (polythene and plastic bottles in the community of Nyamwamba and the Municipality at large). The organization operating in an urban setting, however the high level of vulnerability in the communities, the organization is encouraging use of environmentally friendly means of cooking energy that will create a carbon free emission and at the same time use of agricultural wastes to make charcoal briquettes to save our environment from pollution, deforestation and the high prices of charcoal that is not sustainable. The organization also carries out waste management campaigns in communities and through media as one way of restoring and conserving our environment. Our community is also surrounded by both Queen Elizabeth and Mount Rwenzori National parks where there are high levels of Human-Wildlife Conflicts and as an organization, we take a lead in negotiating with the management of the parks together with the community authority to put appropriate measures, conservation education on to co-exist with the wildlife around the communities and to support park to sustainably conserve the wildlife.
