PROGRAM PILLAR 04 | DROHA UGANDA STRATEGIC PLAN 2024–2028
Championing Gender Equality, Dignity, and Clean Water Access
Advancing women’s rights, preventing gender-based violence, expanding SRHR education, and providing clean water and inclusive sanitation across Eastern Uganda.
SOCIAL & SANITATION CONTEXT
Restoring Health, Rights, and Dignity in Vulnerable Rural Communities
Smallholder farming families across Jinja, Kamuli, Mayuge, and surrounding districts rely directly on predictable rainfall and fertile topsoil. However, rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, unpredictable seasonal shifts, and soil degradation severely threaten household food security and income stability.
Droha Uganda’s Climate Justice & Environmental Resilience program equips smallholders and rural communities with adaptive tools and sustainable technologies. We promote climate smart agriculture, soil conservation, clean energy access, and community led reforestation to ensure farming families build long-term environmental and economic resilience.
